Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Atque ut sinus et stagna praeteream, ipsa se comest terra. devoravit Cibotum altissimum montem cum oppido Cariae, Sipylum in Magnesia et prius in eodem loco clarissimam urbem, quae Tantalis vocabatur, Galenes et Gamales urbium in Phoenice agros cum ipsis, Phegium, Aethiopiae iugum excelsissimum, tamquam non infida grassarentur et litora.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

And not to speak of bays and gulfs, the earth feeds on itself; it has devoured the very high mountain of Cybotus, with the town of Curites; also Sipylus in Magnesia, and formerly, in the same place, a very celebrated city, which was called Tantalis; also the land belonging to the cities Galanis and Gamales in Phœnicia, together with the cities themselves; also Phegium, the most lofty ridge in Æthiopia. Nor are the shores of the sea more to be depended upon.
