A Pelusio Casius mons est, et delubrum Jovis Casii, atque ita Ostracinæ locus Pompeii Magni sepulcro inclytus. Idumæa inde incipit palmis opima. Deinde Joppe oppidum antiquissimum orbe toto, utpote ante inundationem terrarum conditum, Id oppidum saxum ostentat, quod vinculorum Andromedæ vestigia adhuc retinet; quam expositam belluæ non irritus rumor circumtulit: quippe ossa monstri illius M. Scaurus inter alia miracula in ædilitate sua Romæ publicavit. Annalibus nota res est: mensuræ quoque veracibus libris continentur, scilicet quod costarum longitudo excesserit pedes quadraginta, sublimitas autem elephantis Indicis eminentior fuerit: porro verticuli spinæ ipsius latitudine semipedem sint supergressi.
