Fluctibus immodicis Athamantidos aequor a canent,
Vixque manet portu tuta carins suo.
Hoc mare cum primum de virgine nomina mersa
Quae tenet, est nactum, tale suisse puto.
Et satis amissâ locus hic infamis ab Helle,
Utque mihi parcat, crimine nomen habet.
Invideo Phryxo; quem per freta tristia tutum
Aurea lanigero vellere vexit ovis.

Tempora nocturnis aequa diurna facit.

Σῆμά τε οἱ χεύσωσιν ἐπὶ πλατεῖ Η῾λληςπόντᾳ.
Ita etiam Q Calaber l. 9.
Μεςςηγύς τε ποληος ἰδ᾿ εὐρέος Ε῾λληςπόντου.

Rapiditatem devique Catull. Carm. 64. in Epithal. Pelei et Thetidos v. 354.
