Habet a meridie Galliam Belgicam, cuius proximum litus transmeantibus aperit civitas quae dicitur Rutubi portus, a gente Anglorum nunc corrupte Reptacaestir vocata, interposito mari a Gessoriaco Morinorum gentis litore proximo, traiectu milium quinquaginta, sive, ut quidam scripsere, stadiorum quadringentorum quinquaginta.
On the south side it hath Belgic Gaul, to the nearest coast whereof the town called the haven of Rutubus (which is corruptly called Reptacaestir by the English nation) giveth access for men passing over from Britain, by a journey of 50 miles or, as some have written, of 450 furlongs across the sea dividing it from Gessoriacum, the nearest coast of the nation of the Morini.
