Fecerunt autem eum inter duo freta vel sinus de quibus diximus maris, per millia passuum plurima: ut ubi aquarum munitio deerat, ibi praesidio valli fines suos ab hostium inruptione defenderent: cuius operis ibidem facti, id est, valli latissimi et altissimi usque hodie certissima vestigia cernere licet.
And this wall they made between the two great arms or creeks of the sea (whereof we have already spoken), many miles long: in such sort that, whereas the fence of the water lacked, there by the help of the dyke they might keep their boundaries free from the breaking in of their enemies: of which piece of work, that is, of the very broad and high dyke, there remaineth even unto this day most assured tokens to be seen on the same spot it was made.
