Romanos Petraea duces, Romana petivit foedera Callipolis lapidosique Engyon arvi, Hadranum Ergetiumque simul telaque superba lanigera Melite et litus piscosa Calacte, quaeque procelloso Cephaloedias ora profundo caeruleis horret campis pascentia cete, et qui correptas sorbentem verticis haustu atque iterum e fundo iaculantem ad sidera puppes Tauromenitana cernunt de sede Charybdim haec Latium manus et Laurentia signa fovebat.
Staunch to the Roman generals and the Roman alliance were Petraea and Callipolis and Engyon of the stony fields; Hadranum and Ergetium too; Melita,e proud of her woollen fabrics, and Calacte whose strand abounds with fish; and Cephaloedium, whose beach dreads in time of storms the sea monsters that feed in the blue fields of ocean; and the men of Tauromenium, who see Charybdis catching ships and swallowing them in her whirlpool, and then again shooting them up from the depths to the stars. All these supported Rome and the standards of Italy.
