est locus, Aetoli signat quem gloria regis, possessus quondam prisca inter saecula Dauno; umentes rapido circumdat gurgite campos Aufidus et stagnis intercipit arva refusis; mox fluctus ferit Hadriacos magnoque fragore cedentem impellit retrorsus in aequora pontum.
There is a land which bears the name of a famous king of Aetoliaa and was possessed by Daunus in an age long past; the rapid stream of the Aufidus flows round the watery plains and cuts off the promise of harvest by its floods; and later, dashing against the waves of the Adriatic, with a loud noise it forces the salt water to retreat seawards.
