Note 33 — Chapter II
Reading edition
“Venit et extremis legio prætenta Britannis Quæ Scoto dat fræna truci, ferroque notatas Perlegit exangues Scoto moriente figuras.”— De bello Getico, v. 416.
Thus rendered by Ritson:—
The legion came, o’er distant Britains placed, Which bridles the fierce Scot, and bloodless figures With iron marked, views in the dying Pict.
