talis in Euboico Baiarum litore quondam saxea pila cadit, magnis quam molibus ante constructam ponto iaciunt, sic illa ruinam prona trahit penitusque vadis inlisa recumbit; miscent se maria et nigrae attolluntur harenae, tum sonitu Prochyta alta tremit durumque cubile Inarime Iovis imperiis imposta Typhoeo.
So on the Euboic shore of Baiae falls at times a rocky mass, which, built up first of mighty blocks, men cast into the sea: so as it falls, it trails havoc, and crashing into the waters finds rest in the depths; the seas are in turmoil and the black sands mount upward; then at the sound lofty Prochyta trembles, and Inarimes rugged bed, laid by Joves command above Typhoeus.
