    CHAPTER XV.
    Quintanis 57 was a municipality of Raetia Secunda, 58 situated on the bank of the Danube. [erwähnt in Heuberger R. I/II]
    57. In the Notitia Dignitatum Quintanis appears as a garrison town, commanded by the praefectus alae primae Flavii Raetorum. It is now represented by Osterhofen.
    58. Eugippius, whose earlier years were spent in the Danubian lands, tells of conditions there as he remembers them many years before the close of the fifth century. Raetia Secunda then included, nominally at least, the plain country between the Alps, the Inn, and the Danube; Raetia Prima, the whole central Alpine region. It seems clear that at the time of his writing (511) Raetia Secunda lay entirely in the Alps, and comprised the eastern part of the old Raetia Prima; while from the level country to the north, subject though it might be to the more or less shadowy overlordship of Theodoric the Ostrogoth as successor of Old Rome, all vestiges of the provincial name and administration had vanished.

    CHAPTER XX.
    So long as the Roman dominion lasted, soldiers were maintained in many towns at the public expense to guard the boundary wall. When this custom ceased, the squadrons of soldiers and the boundary wall were blotted out together. The troop at Batavis, however, held out. Some soldiers of this troop had gone to Italy to fetch the final pay to their comrades, and no one knew that the barbarians had slain them on the way. One day, as Saint Severinus was reading in his cell, he suddenly closed the book and began to sigh greatly and to weep. He ordered the bystanders to |70 run out with haste to the river, which he declared was in that hour besprinkled with human blood; and straightway word was brought that the bodies of the soldiers mentioned above had been brought to land by the current of the river.

    CHAPTER XXVII.
    At the same time the inhabitants of the town of Quintanis, exhausted by the incessant incursions of the Alamanni, left their own abodes and removed to the town of Batavis. … But Saint Severinus applied himself vigorously to prayer, and encouraged the Romans in manifold ways by examples of salvation. … Therefore the Romans in a body, strengthened by the prediction of the saint, and in the hope of the promised victory, drew up against the Alamanni in order of battle, fortified less with material arms than by the prayers of the saint. The Alamanni were overthrown in the conflict and fled. The man of God addressed the victors as follows. "Children, do not attribute the glory of the |78 present conflict to your own strength. Know that ye are now set free through the protection of God to the end that ye may depart hence within a little space of time, granted you as a kind of armistice. So gather together and go down with me to the town of Lauriacum." …
    As he impressed such things upon their minds, most of the people followed him. A few indeed proved stubborn, nor did the scorners escape the hostile sword. For that same week the Thuringi stormed the town; and of those who notwithstanding the prohibition of the man of God remained there, a part were butchered, the rest led off into captivity and made to pay the penalty for their scorn. |79

    Onoulfus, however, at his brother's [Odoakers] command ordered all the Romans to migrate to Italy. … Accordingly the linen cloths were changed; the corpse was inclosed in the casket that had been prepared for it long before, placed in a wagon drawn by horses, and presently carried forth. All the provincials made the journey in our company. They abandoned the towns on the banks of the Danube and were allotted the various |106 abodes of their exile through the different districts of Italy.

    1968 Mit dem Ende des Römischen Reiches ordnete der Heilige Severin – nach der Aussage seines Biographen Eugippius – an, „die Siedlungen zu Künzing und Passau wie alle „oberen Kastelle“ an der Donau zu verlassen und sich nach Lorch zurückzuziehen. Damit gab er das Land an Donau, Inn und Enns preis.“ Wurster, Herbert W.: Von den Anfängen bis zur Jahrtausendwende. Strasbourg 1994 (Das Bistum Passau und seine Geschichte. Band 1). S. 13.
