Never, but that will change quickly. :twisted:
Btw I have here in the reputable 'Woerterbuch der Antike' at p.682 a reference to "Plinius, Epist. Ad Traianum 41 (50)" about Pliny remarking on a ship lock which bridges a difference in elevation of 17 meters. However, when looking up the passage at Gutenberg I can' t find there any reference to it. Any ideas?
