- Kleryk zaś imieniem Dytryk, który ich wyprzedzając doszedł do drzwi samej świątyni, nie wiedząc, gdzieby zawrócić, odważnie wpadł do świątyni, a widząc na ścianie złotą tarczę poświęconą bogu Jarowitowi, który był bogiem wojny – nie wolno jej było dotknąć nikomu – pochwycił tę tarczę i ruszył im naprzeciw.
- But a clergyman named Dietrich, who had gone ahead of them and had approached the doors of the temple, not knowing where to turn, boldly burst into the shrine itself, and, seeing a golden shield hanging on the wall which had been dedicated to Yarovit, their god of war, and which they considered it unlawful to touch, seized the shield and faced them.
