« Leon […] ist gar eine alte statt, darinnen viel triumph bogen, waßergeng under der erden, dardurch von 5 oder 6 meilen her daß waßer in die statt istgeführet worden, unndt sonst andere vie alte sachen gesehen werden. »
= Leon [ ] is a very ancient town. It contains many triumphal arches and underground water conduits by which means water was brought into the town from five or six miles away. Many other ancient things can be seen there too.
