THE OBSERVATION.
THis Iccius Portus Floide thinketh to be Caleis; others take it to bee
Saint Omer, partly in regard of the situation of the place, which be∣ing
in it selfe verie lowe, hath notwithstanding very high bankes,
which incompasse the towne about; and in times past was a verie
large hauen. To this maie be added the distance from this towne, to the next
continent of the Iland of Britany; which Strabo maketh to containe 320 stadia,
which agreeth to the French computation of 13 leages. Caesar maketh it thirtie
mile: this is the hauen, which Pliny calleth Britannicum portum Morinorum.
