Take another example from the Laon collection, the History of Orosius.
Orosius speaks of him as the inventor of sorcery and the magic arts.
The position of Ataulphus is well marked by the speech put into his mouth by Orosius.
Eusebius, Orosius and others dissent not much from this, but all exceed five thousand.
Orosius ignores the classic Greek historians, of whom he knew little or nothing.
