Galliæ inter Rhenum et Pyrenæum, item inter Oceanum et montes Cebennam ac Juram porriguntur, felices præpinguibus glebis, accommodæ proventibus fructuariis: pleræque consitæ vitibus et arbustis, omni ad usum animantium fœtu beatissimæ; riguæ aquis fluminum, et fontium; sed fontaneis interdum sacris, ac vaporantibus. Infamantur ritu incolarum, qui, ut aiunt (veri enim periculum non ad me recipio), detestabili sacrorum ritu, injuria religionis, humanis litant hostiis. Ex isto sinu quoquo orbis velis, exeas; in Hispanias, et in Italiam terra marique; in Africam mari tantum; si Thracia sit petenda, excipit ager Rhæticus opimus, et ferax; inde Noricus, qua subducitur a jugis Alpium, admodum lætus; dehinc Pannonia solo plano uberique, Dravo Savoque inclytis amnibus circumflua; mox Mœsiæ, quas majores nostri jure Cereris horreum nominabant, in quarum parte, quæ Pontica est, apparet herba, qua inficitur oleum, quod vocant Medicum. Hoc ad incendium excitatum si obruere aqua gestias, ardet magis, nec alio sopitur, quam jactu pulveris.
