Les Abaves, ces tribus de Huns toujours prêtes à se jeter sur la Thrace et la Grèce, ou sur l’Italie et les Lombards, continuèrent leurs ravages. L’empereur eut la faiblesse de leur promettre une somme assez forte, et dont le paiement devait être renouvelé chaque année, s’ils respectaient les frontières de l’empire.
Il y avait là un vieil esprit gaulois, antigermanique, aux prises avec un reliquat de Lombards, issus des Germains, et très-disposés à accepter la domination de ceux avec lesquels ils avaient une étroite communauté d’origine.
