vicino monte legi ingentem
Lacum; hunc antiquissimis
temporibus ad Locum urbis
pervenisse, ubi glarea fundo
incumbebat. Deinde super

tes ex ipso cacumine deve

valla lapillorum argillam
tenacem velut forhice susten-
tantium, communicatio aliqua
cum lacu salva perstaret. Un
de inaequali licet urbis solo,
ad ejusdem tamen horizontis
libellam ubique pervenit aqua,
eandem scilicet quae est lacus.
Nam superiore urbit loco pu-
tei per se exonerantur in
apertum, infra vero subter-
raneos exitus habent.
