Brother Theodoricus and two fellow brothers, dispatched with three hundred men to garrison Raganite, marched on the castle of Pista, recovered the entire enemy livestock herd, slew many foes, and led away seventy captives.
At this same time, Brother Theodoricus of Esbeche, Brother Otto of Bergof, and Brother Otto of Cedeliczeg, having been sent with three hundred men to garrison the castle of Raganite, gathered up the brothers and squires stationed there and set out before the castle of Pista, where they recovered the entire herd of livestock; after killing many of the enemy, they led away seventy men as captives.
