ballaenae et in nostra maria penetrant. in gaditano oceano non ante brumam conspici eas tradunt, condi autem statis temporibus in quodam sinu placido et capaci, mire gaudentes ibi parere. hoc scire orcas, infestam iis beluam et cuius imago nulla repraesentatione exprimi possit alia quam carnis inmensae dentibus truculentae. inrumpunt ergo in secreta ac vitulos earum aut fetas vel etiamnum gravidas lancinant morsu incursuque ceu liburnicarum rostris fodiunt. illae ad flexum inmobiles, ad repugnandum inertes et pondere suo oneratae, tunc quidem et utero graves pariendive poenis invalidae, solum auxilium novere in altum profugere et se tuto defendere oceano. contra orcae occurrere laborant seseque opponere et caveatas angustiis trucidare, in vada urguere, saxis inlidere. spectantur ea proelia ceu mari ipso sibi irato, nullis in sinu ventis, fluctibus vero ad anhelitus ictusque quantos nulli turbines volvant. orca et in portu ostiensi visa est oppugnata a claudio principe. venerat tum exaedificante eo portum, invitata naufragiis tergorum advectorum e gallia, satiansque se per conplures dies alveum in vado sulcaverat, adtumulata fluctibus in tantum, ut circumagi nullo modo posset et, dum saginam persequitur in litus fluctibus propulsam, emineret dorso multum super
aquas carinae vice inversae. praetendi iussit caesar plagas multiplices inter ora portus profectusque ipse cum praetorianis cohortibus populo romano spectaculum praebuit, lanceas congerente milite e navigiis adsultantibus, quorum unum mergi vidimus reflatu beluae oppletum unda.
