Description:Hanno informs us about an istance where a flock was stolen, and the owner made the villagers swear by St Sergius. The owner promised the saint that unless he does something either to him or to the thieves, he will work on his festival. As soon as he came home, the wife of the thief died instantly. The story informs us that one should not take the oath by the name of St Sergius lightly.
