>From "The History of the Franks" by Gregory of Tours:
"...a certain king in Eastern parts had obtained possession of the thumb of
Sait Sergius the martyr, and ... had attached this to his own right arm.
Whenever he needed help to drive back his enemies, he would put his trust
in this support; for when he raised his right arm the enemy troops would
immediately turn in flight, as if they had been vanquished by the martyr's
miraculous power."
