The passage from Avienus is as follows : 



Quee Himilco Pcenus mensibus vix quatuor, 

 Ut ipse semet re probasse retulit 

 Enavigantem, posse transmitti adserit : 

 Sic nulla late flabra propellunt ratem, 

 Sic segnis humor aequoris pigri stupet. 

 Adjicit et illud, plurimum inter gurgites 

 Extare fucum, et ssepe virgulti vice 

 Retinere puppim dicit hie nihilominus 

 Non in profundum terga demitti maris, 

 Parvoque aquarum vix supertexi solum : 

 Obire semper hue et hue ponti feras, 

 Navigia lenta et languide repentia 

 Internatare belluas.
