« Et extra ipsam civitatem a borea est triumphalis arcus prælii navalis undequaque perfectus et integer, et in quinque scutis ibi insculptis adhuc leguntur totidem nomina sequentia : MARIO. DACVDO. VDILLVS. CATVLVS. RODVACVS
reliqua ventus et vetustas corroserunt. »
= “Outside the town, to the north, is a triumphal arch erected to commemorate a naval victory and perfectly conserved. Engraved on five shields, one can still read all the following names:
MARIO.DACVDO.VDILLVS.CATVLVS.RODVACVS.
The rest has been eroded by the wind and the course of time.”
