See the first book of William Appulus. His words are applicable to every swarm of Barbarians and freebooters: -
Si vicinorum quis pernitiosus ad illos
Confugiebat eum gratanter suscipiebant:
Moribus et lingua quoscumque venire videbant
Informant propria; gens efficiatur ut una.
And elsewhere, of the native adventurers of Normandy: -
Pars parat, exiguae vel opes aderant quia nullae:
Pars, quia de magnis majora subire volebant.
