Sita est autem haec insula contra medium Australium Saxonum et Geuissorum, interposito pelago latitudinis trium millium quod vocatur Soluente: in quo videlicet pelago bini aestus oceani qui circum Brittaniam ex infinito oceano septentrionali erumpunt, sibimet invicem quotidie compugnantes occurrunt, ultra ostium fluminis Homelea, quod per terras Iutorum, quae ad regionem Geuissorum pertinent, praefatum pelagus intrat; finitoque conflictu, in oceanum refusi, unde venerant, redeunt.
Now the situation of this island is over against the midst of the South Saxons and Gewissas, the sea which is called the Solent coming between, the breadth of three miles: in which sea to wit two tides of the ocean sea, that break out from the boundless north ocean about Britain, do daily meet and run together beyond the mouth of the river Homelea (which runneth through the lands of the Jutes, that reach to the district of the Gewissas, and so entereth into the aforesaid sea); and when their striving together is ended they go back and flow again into the ocean from whence they came.
