The halt by Evariste Vital Luminais 1821-1896

"But, as has been said both by Poseidonius and several others, since the country was rich in gold, and also belonged to people who were God-fearing and not extravagant in their ways of living, it came to have treasures in many places in Celtica; but it was the lakes, most of all, that afforded the treasures their inviolability, into which the people let down heavy masses of silver or even of gold."

-Strabo's Geography: Book 4, Chapter 1.13
