Transcription
« Ubi autem ad primitivam Ecclesiam S. Stephani (quæ nunc S. Joannis) Aquæductus noster pervenerat, ibi prope Portam Nigram, lacus publicus, ingentis magnitudinis (ut ruinaæ detectæ nuper indicarunt in vicinis ædibus) ovalis figura : fuerat exstrucrus, in quem aquæ, per vicinum Aquæductum, ad Castellum, & minores lacus properantes, dum lubebat deducebantur, ad publicas (ut quibusdam placet) & navales pugnas, velut in mari parvo. » |
