Summary:
"This small volume contains all that we have left of the history of Priscus of Panion, which is mostly lost. It is a firsthand account of Attila the Hun, Hunnic culture, and activities. This edition is the first translation based on the recently published new edition of Priskos's Greek fragments by Pia Carolla"--Provided by publisher.
