Et forte belua invisitatae magnitudinis, super ipsos fluctus dorso eminens, ad molem quam Macedones iecerant ingens corpus applicuit, diverberatisque fluctibus allevans semet, utrimque conspecta est; deinde a capite molis rursus alto se immersit ac modo super undas eminens magna sui parte, modo superfusis fluctibus condita, haud procul munimentis urbis se mersit.
And it chanced that a sea-monster, of a size never before seen, rising even above the waves with its back, brought its huge body up to the causeway which the Macedonians had built, and striking the surges asunder as it lifted itself, was seen by both sides. Then from the peak of the causeway it again plunged under the sea, and now rising above the surface with a great part of its bulk, now hidden as the waves dashed over it, it disappeared under water not far from the walls of the city.
