The book says that the war lasted eight days, in which three thousand Muslims were martyred. Then the Goths were routed, and it is said that Roderic drowned. 1
Tariq chose the field of battle with care: he anchored his right wing to the lake, his left wing to the valley, and placed his rear in the mountains of Ratina. 1
