nvcLyv,. at the waters edg, which in H. Stephens Edition 
is interpreted in paludibus^ but I have the Authority of 
Suidas, who fays ikvcty©-*, TrthcLjioLthvs, or the Sea Mud, 
and is therefore properly the Oufe on the Sea Shore, 
and by an eafie Figure, may be put for the Shore itfelf, 
where fuch Oufe commonly is found. 
5. From thefe data, That it was in the Year of the 
Consulate of Pompey, and Crajjus 3 That it was Exigua 
parte £/1atis reliqua^ and Four Days before a Full-Moon, 
which fell out in the night time, The time of this Inva- 
fion will be determined to a day : F.or by the Eclipfe of 
the Moon, whereof Drufus made fo good ufe to quiet 
a Mutiny in the Pannonian Army, upon the News of the 
Death of Auguftus, it follows that Auguftus Died Anno 
Chrijii 14. which was reckoned Anno Drbis condit<e ?6j. 
and that this A'&ion was 68 Years before, viz,, in the 
'55th. Year before Chrift Current. In which Year the 
Full Moon fell out Augufl 30. after Midnight, or 31 in 
the Morning before day 5 and the preceding Full-Moon, 
was Augufl 1. foon after Noon 5 fo that this could not 
be the Full Moon mentioned, as falling in the day time : 
nor that in the beginning of July t it being not 10 days 
after the Summer folftice, when it would not have been 
laid exigui parte <ejlatis reliqua. It follows therefore that 
the Full Moon Ipoken of, was on Anguft 30. at Night, 
and that the Landing on Britain was Augufl 26. in the 
Afternoon, about a Month before the Autumnal equi- 
nox5 which agrees to all the Circumftances of the Story 
in point of Time. 
6. As to the Place, the high Land and Cliffs defcrib- 
ed; could be no other than thofe of Dover, and are al- 
lowed to have been fo'by all, it remains only to exa- 
mine whether the Delcent was made to the Northward 
or Southward of the place where he firft Anchored. The 
d*ta. to determine this, are firft that it was Four days 
before
