C. Julius Caesar, Gallic War, Book 5, chapter 13 (search)
The island is triangular in its form, and one of its sides is opposite to Gaul. One angle of this side, which is in Kent
, whither almost all ships from Gaul are directed, [looks] to
the east; the lower looks to the south. This side extends about 500 miles.
Another side lies toward Spain and the west, on which
part is Ireland , less, as
is reckoned, than Britain, by one
half: but the passage [from it] into Britain is of
equal distance with that from Gaul. In the middle of this
voyage, is an island, which is called Mona:
many smaller islands besides are supposed to lie [there], of which islands some
have written that at the time of the winter solstice it is night there for
thirty consecutive days. We, in our inquiries about that matter, ascertained

brothers among brothers, and parents among their children; but if there be any
issue by these wives, they are reputed to be the children of those by whom
respectively each was first espoused when a virgin.

While these things are going forward in those places, Cassivellaunus
sends messengers into Kent
, which, we have observed above, is on the sea, over which districts four
several kings reigned, Cingetorix, Carvilius,
Taximagulus and Segonax, and commands them to
collect all their forces, and unexpectedly assail and storm the naval camp. When
they had come to the camp, our men, after making a sally, slaying many of their
men, and also capturing a distinguished leader named Lugotorix,
brought back their own men in safety. Cassivellaunus, when this
battle was reported to him as so many losses had been sustained, and his
territories laid waste, being alarmed most of all by the desertion of the
states, sends embassadors to Caesar [to treat] about a
