	Priscus, fragment 8
		As Onegesius was not present (81) it was for Scottas, I said, to help us, or rather help his brother, and at the same time prove that the report was true which ascribed to him an influence with Attila equal to that possessed by his brother.
		The house of Onegesius was second to the king's in splendour, and was also encircled with a wooden enclosure, but it was not adorned with towers like that of the king.
		Onegesius sat on a chair on the right of Attila's couch, and over against Onegesius on a chair sat two of Attila's sons; his eldest son sat on his couch, not near him, but at the extreme end, with his eyes fixed on the ground, in shy respect for his father.

	Medieval Sourcebook:
		The house of the chieftain Onegesius was second only to the king's in splendor and was also encircled with a wooden enclosure, but it was not adorned with towers like that of the king.
		Not far from the inclosure was a large bath built by Onegesius, who was the second in power among the Scythians.
		A number of servants stood round her, and maids sitting on the floor in front of her embroidered with colors linen cloths intended to be placed over the Scythian dress for ornament.

	An East Roman Embassy to the Court of Attila the Hun (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		When he came near the house of Onegesius, which lay on his way, the wife of Onegesius issued from the door, with a number of servants, bearing meat and wine, and saluted him and begged him to partake of her hospitality.
		But the city fell a prey to the Barbarians, and he was stripped of his prosperity, and on account of his riches was allotted to Onegesius in the division of the spoil, as it was the custom among the Scythians for the chiefs to reserve for themselves the rich prisoners.
		Onegesius sat on a chair on the right of Attila's couch, and over against Onegesius on a chair sat two of Attila's sons; his eldest son Bat on his couch, not near him, but at the extreme end, with his eyes fixed on the ground, in shy respect for his father.

	embassy
		After dinner we left the house of Onegesius and pitched our tents near the house of Attila so that Maximinus, when he had to go to Attila or else go into conference with other men of his court, might be separated by no great distance from them.
		Onegesius said, "And what actions would be gratifying to the emperor, or how may the disputes be settled for him?" Maximinus answered that, having crossed into Roman territory, he would earn the emperor's gratitude and would settle the disputes by thoroughly examining their causes and removing them according to the terms of the peace.
		Onegesius sat on a chair at the right of the king's couch, and opposite Onegesius two of Attila's sons sat on a chair.

		Maximinus øekl, e pøiel èas, aby Onegesius získal mezi mui vìtí proslulost tím, e pùjde k císaøi a svou moudrostí upraví sporné záleitosti mezi Øímany a Huny, a zajistí mezi nimi mír; odtud vzejde mnoho výhod pro jeho rodinu, nebo vechny jeho dìti budou navdy pøáteli císaøe a císaøské rodiny.
		Onegesius se dotázal, co by císaøe uspokojilo a jakým zpùsobem by mìl urovnat spory.
		Onegesius sedìl na køesle nalevo od Attilova lehátka a naproti Onegesiovi na køesle dva z Attilových synù; jeho nejstarí syn sedìl na lehátku, ne poblí nìho, ale na opaèném konci, s oèima upøenýma na zem, v bázlivém ostychu ze svého otce.

		The baths, constructed by Onegesius, were the only edifice of stone; the materials had been transported from Pannonia; and since the adjacent country was destitute even of large timber, it may be presumed, that the meaner habitations of the royal village consisted of straw, or mud, or of canvass.
		They marched before him, distributed into long and regular files; the intervals between the files were filled by white veils of thin linen, which the women on either side bore aloft in their hands, and which formed a canopy for a chorus of young virgins, who chanted hymns and songs in the Scythian language.
		The wife of his favorite Onegesius, with a train of female attendants, saluted Attila at the door of her own house, on his way to the palace; and offered, according to the custom of the country, her respectful homage, by entreating him to taste the wine and meat which she had prepared for his reception.

	I AM KRIEG, Part Three
		Onegesius stood beside his place at the head of the table, pulled back the large ebon chair in the subservient gesture he knew so well.
		This had been ordered and overseen by Onegesius himself and, along with the strange man's fierce loyalty (and genius for domineering cruelty), was the primary reason for his ascendancy.
		For as Onegesius questioned each leader in turn, one man, a Burgundian but recently subdued and assimilated, hesitated in his answer about the slaughter of women and children in a village he had been instructed to raze.

		But it does accord with the generally multicultural and therefore polyglot practices of the Huns.
		Here is the Roman diplomat Priscus, reporting on his visit to the Hunnic leader Onegesius:
		However, this should still have left the military "balance of inflections" roughly equal, since Latin's historical seven cases (with only four or five really distinguished by the fifth century AD) strike a rough average between the Hunnic eight (or nine, if they had not merged accusative and dative yet) and the Gothic five.

	The Assistance of the Hun's to West Rome
		Foreign tribes were tied up to the Hun Empire only through their chiefs, commanders or their kings.
		Except for the Agacheri revolt, which was repressed by Onegesius (Oneguz) the commander (General Staff Manager) of the Hun army and the Ilek the elder son of Attila in 422, the silence had not been broken.
		However the peasantry revolts (Bagauda's) had agitated the system and the public order in the Roman Empire which was caused by things like the robbing of the crop from the native by force and the immigrating tribes who made a huge destruction on places they stayed and on the roads they passed.

		He said that he was a Greek and for purposes of trade had gone to Viminacium, the city in Moesia on the river Danube.
		He had married a barbarian wife and had children, and, as a sharer at the table of Onegesius, he now enjoyed a better life than he had previously.
		The same man went on to praise the Hunnic way of life at the expense the Roman one.

		Dupa ce am trecut citeva riuri, am sosit intr-un sat foarte mare unde se spunea ca se afla cea mai stralucita dintre toate locuintele lui Attila, construita din birne si scinduri frumos poleite si bine incheiate si inconjurata cu o imprejmuire de lemn, pusa de frumusete, nu pentru intaritura.
		Dupa locuinta regelui se gasea locuinta lui Onegesius impodobita si aceasta cu o imprejmuire de lemn de jur imprejur, dar nu era infrumusetata cu turnuri la fel ca cea a lui Attila.
		Nu departe de imprejmuire era o baie, construita de Onegesius, cel mai bogat dintre sciti dupa Attila, cu piatra adusa din tara peonilor, deoarece la barbarii din partile acelea nu se gaseste piatra si lemn, ci se folosesc de material adus de aiurea."

		Ein Minister badete sogar in seinem eigenen Bad, die Ausnahme schlechthin.
		Verdiente Leute wurden dank rÃ¶mischen Goldes mit Pensionen versorgt, hatten GÃ¼ter oder Vorrechte - so z.B. durfte der einflussreiche Minister Onegesius seine Gefangenen behalten.
		Aber der rÃ¶mische Dienst war eben doch attraktiver - Attila forderte Hunnen als entlaufene Vasallen vom ostrÃ¶mischen Kaiser zurÃ¼ck.

		Ihr Botschafter Maximin und sein Gehilfe Priscus nahmen das klaglos hin, denn insgeheim verfolgte ihr Besuch eine Nebenabsicht: sie wollten Onegesius, den engsten Vertrauten Attilas, als ständigen Gesandten nach Byzanz locken.
		Dafür besaß es ein römisches Bad, das Gefolgsleute von Onegesius abgebrochen und Stein für Stein - Caldarium, Tepidarium, Frigidarium und sämtliche Massageräume - im Dorf neu aufgebaut hatten, unter der Leitung eines versklavten griechischen Architekten.
		Seine Belohnung war, daß er fortan den Dreck unter den Fingernägeln des Onegesius herauskratzen durfte.
