Transcription
In order to finish Narbonne’s ramparts, started under Louis XIII, François I had the subsisting Roman remains, which mostly came from the Gallo-Roman necroplis, collected up and used as building material
« Ipsa mnia non pauca inclusa habent monumenta & lapides sepulchrales, partim regum aliquot Franciæ, partim priscorum Romanorum, non tamen lectu faciles ; descriptu difficiliores, quòd non permissum valla conscendere sine præfecti consensu. »
