Transcription

This single arch bridge constructed with large stone blocks connected the two banks of the Ouveze River

« Et a septentrione Ovidia flumen Vasionem attingit, et supra id flumen ad hanc urbem est pons lapideus, Romanorum aut alterius gentis validæ opus. »
= “To the north, the Ouveze River flows through Vaison, and in this town, over this river, is a stone bridge, built by the Romans or by other vigorous people.”
