Note 2 — PREFATORY CHAPTER.
Reading edition
The causeway that connects the city of Cadiz with the Isla de Leon is said to be a fragment of a work undertaken by Hercules; the castle of Santi Petri (built on a rocky island about five miles to the east of the city) to be constructed from the ruins of a temple built by that celebrated hero, and in which his bones were deposited.—Traces of this temple may be seen at low water, near the mouth of the San Pedro river.
