I am trying to translate the chapter titles of four chapters in a medieval source, Caffaro's De Liberatione Civitatum Orientis. Here is the full table of contents:
Here are the four chapters I wish to translate:
What is the meaning of these chapter titles?
Here's a literal translation of the four chapter titles:
Christiani victores obsessi
The Christian victors [are] besieged
N.B. "obsessi" is the past participle of obsideo.
Enumeratio civitatum persequitur
The enumeration of cities continues
Without context, this is harder to understand: I presume that a previous chapter began listing cities and this chapter continues it.
Praelium navale Genuensium contra Graecos
The naval battle of the Genoese against the Greeks
Genuenses apud Laodiciam hiemantur
The Genoese winter [i.e. set up winter quarters] in Laodicea
