Transmarinas autem dicimus has gentes, non quod extra Brittaniam essent positae; sed quia a parte Brettonum erant remotae, duobus sinibus maris interiacentibus, quorum unus ab orientali mari, alter ab occidentali, Brittaniae terras longe lateque inrumpit, quamvis ad se invicem pertingere non possint.
Now I call these nations outlandish, not that they were out of the circuit of Britain, but that they were divided from the part held by the Britons by two arms of the sea running betwixt them, of the which one from the east sea, the other from the west runneth in far and wide into the lands of Britain, though they may not reach to the other.
