• The morasses have been drained, and, in proportion as the soil has been cultivated, the air has become more temperate (I, 316).
• The Gothic army was drawn up in three lines, and either from choice or accident, the front of the third line was covered by a morass (I,364).

• The fortifications of Ravenna were able to resist the attempts, and the morasses that surrounded the town, were sufficient to prevent the approach, of the Italian army (I,555).
• Constantine had taken post in a defile about half a mile in breadth, between a steep hill and a deep morass, and in that situation he steadily expected and repulsed the first attack of the enemy (I,586).
