• Initial "A" with floral and leaf ornamentation. Below it, a heavily worn miniature is occupying the entire width of the text in a simple frame. In the background there are castles on tops with residential towers. The Huns, considered by the chronicle to be the ancestors of the Hungarians, enter from the right in the foreground: armored knights on horseback, a chief in costume among them.

In the middle, there are men and women carrying children, and baggy packages on their backs, then there are women and children on wagons covered with tarpaulins, behind them, there are warriors riding on camels.

In the 373rd year of Our Lord’s birth, in the time of Emperor Valens and Pope Celestine I, in the Six Ages of the World, the Huns living in the Scythia multiplied, they got together and appointed captains from among themselves: Béla, Keve the son of Csele of the Zemény clan, and Kadocsa, Attila, Keve, Buda the sons of Bendegúz of the Kadar clan, and then they decided to push into the western regions. Ten times one hundred thousand warriors were chosen from the one hundred and eight tribes, that is, ten thousand from each tribe, leaving the rest of the Huns in Scythia to protect their seat and country from the enemy. They also chose a judge from among themselves, a man named Kádár of the Torda clan, to handle the trials of the disputants and to punish thieves, rogues and evildoers, yet in such a way that if the judge gives an unfair sentence, the community can nullify it, and depose the erring judge and the captains whenever they want. This legal custom was kept by the Huns, namely the Hungarians, until the time of Grand Prince Géza, son of Taksony. For before the Hungarians were baptized, the messenger's voice shouted throughout the camp, rallying the Huns in this way: "The word of God and the whole community, that each one, armed or as he is, should appear exactly at the appointed place, to listen to the order and advice of the community." And whoever disregarded the commandment and did not give a sufficient reason for it, according to Scythian law, was cut in two with a sword, exiled, or mercilessly pushed into ordinary slavery.

• The depicted battle is the legendary Battle of Zeiselmauer when the Huns conquered Pannonia from the Romans. Two horse armies fighting each other, the corpses of the fallen lie on the ground, their blood stains the ground red. On the right side, one soldier's shield is striped with red and white, while another in the middle of the picture carries a golden flag decorated with a Turul which stands out from the picture.

While Detre and Macrinus had settled down and discussed and debated in this way, the Huns crossed the Danube on hoses at Sicambria in the silence of the night and cruelly killed the army of Macrinus and Detre, which was encamped in the field, because the city of Potentiana could not receive them. This attack infuriated Detre, and he went to fight the Huns on the field of Tárnok Valley, he clashed with them, and is said to have defeated the Huns at the great danger and ruin of his people. The remnants of the Huns crossed the Tisza. 125,000 Huns were killed that day, among them, Captain Keve also fell in the battle. 210,000 men from the army of Detre and Macrinus perished there, not counting those who were killed under the tents. Detre saw the great loss his people had suffered in the battle, on the second day after the battle, he marched with Macrinus towards the city of Tulln, which was then a Latin seat and counted among the cities of Pannonia. The city of Tulln locates in Austria, three stations away from Vienna. When the Huns understood that their enemies had withdrawn, they returned to the battlefield and buried the corpses of their comrades and Captain Keve according to Scythian custom, – we think – by the side of the highway, an ornate stone idol was erected there, that place, that region was named Keveháza. In the battle, the Huns thoroughly recognized both the spirit and the armed equipment of the Romans, so having organized their army, they headed towards Tulln, where their enemies gathered. They say that Detre and Macrinus went before them as far as Zeiselmauer, they fought from dawn until the ninth hour, and the Romans were defeated. Macrinus also fell there, Detre was wounded in the forehead by an arrow, the entire Roman army was destroyed and fled. 40,000 Huns were lost in this battle, Béla, Keve and Kadocsa also fell, their bodies were taken from there and buried in the mentioned place, at the stone idol with the other Huns. After the army of Romans was dispersed at Zeiselmauer, they could not gather for war against the Huns for many years.

In the 401st year of Our Lord’s birth, in the 28th year since the arrival of the Hungarians in Pannonia, according to the custom of the Romans, the Huns, namely the Hungarians exalted Attila as king above themselves, the son of Bendegúz, who was before among the captains.

So be more valiant in the battle tomorrow and you will see that the city is lost!" After he could not take the city by any war machine, he now gave orders with Scythian insight and asked one-one saddle from one million of his valiant warriors, he stacked them under a huge pile under the wall, and commanded that the saddles be set on fire: their flames and heat cracked, demolished the walls and towers. Seeing this, all the citizens left the city and fled to an island in the sea, near Aquileia, and determined to stay there forever, and it is called Venice to this day.

Because dream is "álom" in our language, and the birth of that boy was prophesied by a dream, that's why he was called Álmos.

In fact, this coat of arms belongs to the Hont clan. The illustrator was obviously not familiar with the coat of arms of the Héder clan and used the coat of arms of the Hont clan. Therefore, on the next page, he incorrectly painted a dog's head in the coat of arms of the Hont family. Probably his own idea, perhaps based on the identification of the word Hunt-Hund, because "Hund" means dog in German.

• Vencellin, ancestor of the Ják family.

According to the chronicle, Lehel was captured after the Battle of Lechfeld in 955, Lehel asked his horn at his last wish, striking the German emperor to death. According to the chronicle, he was Emperor Conrad.

At that place the famous captains, Lehel and Bulcsú were also captured, and taken in front of the emperor. When the emperor asked, why they are so cruel against the Christians, they replied: "We are the revenge of the highest God, sent to you as a scourge. You shall imprison us and kill us when we cease to chase you." Then the emperor called them: "Choose the type of death you wish." Then Lehel replied: "Bring me my horn, which I will blow, then I will reply." The horn was handed to him, and during the preparation to blow it, he stepped forward of the emperor, and hit the forehead of the emperor so strongly that the horn is broken and the emperor died instantly from this one strike. Then Lehel said to him: "You will walk before me and you will be my servant in the other world!", as it is a common belief within the Scythians, that whoever they killed in their lives will serve them in the other world.

He acquired an inestimable amount of treasure, especially gold, pearls and precious stones. He placed one of his great-grandfathers here, Zoltán by name, who later held those parts of Transylvania as a hereditary province, therefore, he was colloquially called Zoltán of Transylvania.

The king let the prince go in peace to hunt in the Bakony. He sent two of his serfs with him under the pretext of honoring him, but he secretly trained them to carefully probe the prince's soul: to report to the king if the prince was intrigued against him. The prince arrived in Csór, released his falcon, and it caught a crow. The prince then said to the serfs with a simple spirit: "What if the crow swore to the hawk that it would not caw again if the hawk let it go?" But they answered thus: "Even if the crow were to swear, the hawk wouldn't let him go, but the crow couldn't swear either, because he's a foolish animal." The prince's words were reported to the king that night. The prince went to Bakony to hunt, but immediately left them and ran to Passau again to ask for help from the German king.
