While the summer weather has been outstandingly dry and hot, a lot of people suffer from a disability called glene, that kills men, women and children.

Text originalOriginal text

Viguit infirmitas, quam glene vocamus, mirabiliter, ita quod multi homines, mulieres et pueri ex infirmitate illa, tam in villa Lugduni quam per patriam obierunt.

Text translationEnglish translation of the text

A disability spread wonderfully, that is called 'glene'. So that a lot of men, women and children died from this disease in Lyon and elsewhere in the region.
