Anonymus 319 was a Lombard horseman, present with the Lombard king Liutprand 1 during a hunting expedition in the wood called Urbs (near Ticinum) during which the king's nephew Aufusus 1 was fatally wounded (cf. Anonymus 318); he was sent on horseback ( unum e suis equitem ) to Baodolin 1 to ask for prayers for the boy, but on arrival was told that it was too late as he was already dead; Baodolin 1 lived at a place called Forum near the river Tanarum: Paul.
