Pyrram et Antissam circa Maeotim pontus abstulit, Helicen et Buram sinus Corinthius, quarum in alto vestigia apparent. ex insula Cea amplius triginta milia passuum abrupta subito cum plurimis mortalium rapuit et in Sicilia dimidiam Tyndarida urbem ac quicquid ab Italia deest, similiterin Boeotia Eleusina.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

The sea near the Palus Mæotis has carried away Pyrrha and Antissa, also Elice and Bura in the gulf of Corinth, traces of which places are visible in the ocean. From the island Cea it has seized on 30,000 paces, which were suddenly torn off, with many persons on them. In Sicily also the half of the city of Tyndaris, and all the part of Italy which is wanting; in like manner it carried off Eleusina in Bœotia.
