     And in the same year, Emperor Otto of Rome went to Greece, and there he encountered a great army of Sacarens who had come up from the sea, and intended to then go make war against the Christian people; and so the emperor then fought against them. There was great slaughter on each side, and the emperor took control of the battlefield. Nevertheless, he was very fatigued, and so thence turned around and traveled towards home. He was the son of Prince Leodulf, and Leodulf was son of the elder Otto, and the son of King Edward's daughter.

使用する際の注意点

• In many instances where we would use the adjective “Roman” or the phrase “of Rome,” the Anglo-Saxons often wrote literally “of the Romans”: Rōmāna rīċe (“the Roman Empire”), Rōmāna cāsere (“the Roman Empire”), Rōmāna folc (“the people of Rome”), Rōmāna bisċop (“the bishop of Rome”). This was consistent with the usage of other ethnonyms: Engla cwēn (“the queen of England,” literally “queen of the English”), Crēca hēafodburg (“the capital of Greece,” literally “capital of the Greeks”), etc.
