The emperor returned to Aachen by way of Rouen, Amiens, and Cambrai to spend the winter there. When he came to Herstal, he met envoys of Duke Sigo of the Beneventans, who brought gifts and justified the duke with regard to the murder of Duke Grimoald, his predecessor. The envoys of other peoples were also there, that is, of the Obodrites, of Borna, duke of the Guduscani, and of the Timociani, who had recently revolted against the Bulgars and come over to our side; also of Ljudovit, duke of Lower Pannonia, a schemer and agitator, who tried to accuse Count Cadolah, commander of the March of Friuli, of brutality and arrogance. When these had been heard and dismissed, the emperor went to Aachen to spend the winter there.
Zašto bi se rečeno odnosilo i na Guduskane, a ne samo Timočane?
Posebno ako zaključimo da se Obodriti odnose na Slavomirove Obodrite, a ne na Predenecente? Oni nisu bili ni pod kakvim uticajem Bugara.
