   • c. 5th century AD, Priscianus Caesariensis, De Orbis Situ Prisciani ex Dionysio Periegetes, lines 577–580:

     Ast aliae [insulae] oceani iuxta boreotidas actas sunt geminae, Rhenique Britannides ostia cernunt; hic etenim lasso perrumpit Tethya cursu. Has tamen haud valeat spatio superare per orbem insula.

     However there are other twin islands near the northern shorelines of the ocean, separating the British Isles from the mouth of the Rhine; for here, the flow exhausted, it breaks through into the sea. There is yet hardly an island in the world that is able to surpass these in size.
