Note 2289 — Chapter II
W. (William) Falconer translation
Virgil thus deals with the subject:
“Sicanio prætenta sinu jacet insula contra Plemmyrium undosum: nomen dixere priores Ortygiam. Alpheum fama est huc, Elidis amnem, Occultas egisse vias subter mare; qui nunc Ore, Arethusa, tuo Siculis confunditur undis.” Æn. iii. 692.
