1out when a torrent or some other force of Nature has laid open a vena
dílatata in a valley, so that it appears either on the slope of a mountain
or hill or on a plain.
Elsewhere the Bergmeíster doubles the width of the
head-meer and it is made fourteen fathoms wide, while the width of each of
the other meers remains single, that is seven fathoms, but the length is not
defined by boundaries.
In some places the head-meer consists of three
double measures, but has a width of fourteen fathoms and a length of
twenty-one.

doubled in the same fashion, so that it is fourteen fathoms in width and
of the same length.
