sicut prorupti tonuit cum forte Vesevi Hesperiae letalis apex, vixdum ignea montem torsit hiemps iamque eoas cinis induit urbes: turbine sic rapido populos atque aequora longe transabeunt, nullaque datur considere terra, iamque et ad Ionii metas atque intima tendunt saxa; vocat magni Strophadas nunc incola ponti.
As when it happens that the peak of Vesevus bursts forth in thunder, bringing destruction to Hesperia, scarce yet has the fiery hurricane wrung the mountain, and already eastern cities are coated with the ash: in so fleet a whirlwind do they pass over peoples and seas afar, nor are suffered to settle in any land. And by now are they drawing nigh the bounds of the Ionian sea and the rocks in its midst: to-day the dweller in that mighty sea calls them the Isles of Turning.
