[81] Post haec Theoderico Verona consistente propter metum gentium facta est lis inter Christianos et Iudaeos Ravennates. Quare Iudaei baptizatos nolentes, dum ludunt¹ frequenter oblatam aquam² in aquam fluminis iactaverunt. Dehinc accensus est popualus non observantes³ neque regi neque Eutharico aut Petro, qui tune episcopus erat, consurgentes ad synagogas, mox eas incenderunt. Quod et in Roma in re⁴ eadem similiter contigit.

[81] After this, while Theodoric was remaining at Verona through fear of the neighbouring peoples, strife arose between the Christians and the Jews of the city of Ravenna; accordingly the Jews, being unwilling to be baptised, often in sport threw the holy water that was offered to them into the water of the river. Because of this the people were fired with anger, and without respect for the king, for Eutharicus, or for Peter, who was bishop at the time, they rose against the synagogues and presently set them on fire. And this same thing happened in a similar affair at Rome.
