Source text:
The Saracens defended themselves vigorously, and, with slings, very skilfully hurled back burning firebrands, which had been dipped in oil and fresh fat.
Translation:
Saracēņi kareivīgi aizstāvējās un demonstrēja milzīgu prasmi lingu izmantošanā, ar to palīdzību mezdami atpakaļ kvēlojošās firebrands, kuras pirms tam tika iemērktas eļļā un svaigos taukos.
Iepriekš paldies!
