Est autem ad orientalem Cantiae plagam Tanatos insula non modica, id est, magnitudinis iuxta consuetudinem aestimationis Anglorum, familiarum sexcentarum, quam a continenti terra secernit fluvius Vantsumu, qui est latitudinis circiter trium stadiorum, et duobus tantum in locis est transmeabilis: utrumque enim caput protendit in mare.
Now at the east end of Kent there is Thanet, an isle of goodly size, that is to say, containing 600 hides according to the custom of the estimation of the English, which island is parted from the land by the flood Wantsum, which is of about three furlongs breadth and in two places only passable: for both the heads of him runneth to the sea.
