Saxons were some Remains of the Macedonian Army

This he insists upon at large in this Third Book, and thinks it the more probable, because the Story of Saxo, the Founder of the Saxon Nation, agrees with it. He says all Authors, Crantzius excepted, agree. That the Saxons were some Remains of the Macedonian Army; and that before they came into Germany, they were called Macedonians; for this he quotes the German Chronicle, printed at Mentz, in 1482. the Annals of Freezland, and others."
