36. Aurelius Victor, c. 40. But that lake was situated on
the upper Pannonia, near the borders of Noricum; and the
province of Valeria (a name which the wife of Galerius gave
to the drained country) undoubtedly lay between the Drave
and the Danube (Sextus Rufus, c. 8). I should therefore
suspect that Victor has confounded the lake Pelso with the
Volocean marshes, or, as they are now called, the lake
Sabaton. It is placed in the heart of Valeria, and its
present extent is not less than twelve Hungarian miles
(about seventy English) in length, and two in breadth. See
Severini Pannonia, 1. i. c. 9.
