Where was the Roman Army in AD408?

Although this is from the antiquated online translation again, so it might need checking...

Ridley's translation has, 'This done, the emperor summoned ten thousand Huns as allies in the war against Alaric', which is substantially the same.

And do as adversaries do in law, -
Strive mightily, but eat and drink as friends.
