Uraïas, nephew of Vitiges, besieged Milan in 338. That city, then
a magnificent one, was esteemed the second of the West. With the
assistance of ten thousand Franks, furnished by Theodebert, king of
Austrasia, Uraïas pressed the siege warmly during six months. The
Goths, masters of the city, delivered it up to pillage, made the
garrison prisoners, put the inhabitants to the sword, and carried off
the women into captivity.
