I.] [Footnote 342: Murat, CCLXIII. 4.] [Footnote 343: See p. 225.] [Footnote 344: Jerome, in his treatise against Jovian, declares that he could bear personal testimony to this.] [Footnote 345: See p. 194.] [Footnote 346: Marcellinus dwells upon the chopping seas which usually prevailed in the Straits; and of the rapid tide, which is also referred to by Ausonius (380), "Quum virides algas et rubra corallia nudat Aestus," etc.] [Footnote 347: To him is probably due the reconstruction of the "Vallum" as a defence against attacks from the south, such as the Scots were now able to deliver. See p. 207.] [Footnote 348: Marcellinus, 'Hist.' XXVIII. 3. See p. 202.] [Footnote 349: 'De Quarto Consulatu Honorii,' I. 31.] [Footnote 350: Theodosius married Galla, daughter of Valentinian I.] [Footnote 351: For the later migrations to Brittany see Elton's 'Origins,' p. 350.
