Transcription « Innanzi che si entri in Poitiè, si vedeno a man manca i vestigii di un aquedutto antico, che conduceva acqua alla città . […] Di fuora, come ho detto, si vede un aquedutto. = “Before entering Poitiers, one can see, on the left, the remains of an ancient aqueduct, which provided the city with water. […] Outside the town, as I have said, one can see an aqueduct.”
