"My master, the Great Khan—"
"Has received an offer from Justinian, Emperor of the Romans—"
"Of fifty thousand solidi—"
"To refrain from invading his dominions."
"If Thiudahad, King of the Goths—"
"Will make us a better offer—"
"We will ravage Thrace—"
"And leave the Gothic realm alone."
"If he does not—"
"We will take Justinian's gold—"
