One legend has it that Gaiseric was unable to vault upon a horse because of a fall he had taken as a young man; so he assuaged his desire for military glory on the sea.
Satu legenda mengatakan bahwa Genserik tidak mampu melompati ke atas seekor kuda karena ia terjatuh saat masih muda; Jadi dia mengurangi keinginannya untuk meraih kemenangan militer di laut.
