Reading edition
The Hebrus is large and full in winter, yet carries but a slow stream, which in the summer time is scarce able to flow. Hence Ovid. Heroid. ii. ℣. 115.
Et sacer admissas exigit Hebrus aquas.
But Virgil, who, as appears from his geography of Troy, was not so well acquainted with these parts, says: Aen. i. ℣. 321.
Volucremque fuga praevertitur Hebrum.
