CHAP. XIV. Concerning the universall Calamities.
a 1.1 ABout the same times, when the b 1.2Scythian War was raised against the Eastern-Ro∣mans, the Country of Thracia, and the Helespont were shaken with an Earthquake; as was Io∣nia, and likewise those Islands called the Cycla∣dès: in so much that in the Islands Cnidus and Coos very many [buildings] were overturned. Further, Priscus relates, that at Constantinople and in the Country of the Bithynians, there hapned most violent storms of rain, the waters descen∣ding from heaven in the manner of Rivers, for the space of three or four days. And, that mountains were levelled into Plains, and Vil∣lages, overwhelmed with waters, perished. Moreover, that Islands arose in the Lake Boäne, (which is not far distant from Nicomedia,) from the vast quantity of dirt and filth con∣veyed into it. But these things came to pass sometime afterwards.

Instead of [〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉,] it would be better written thus, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, about the same times.] Vales.
Evagrius means the War which the Hunni waged against the Eastern Romans, under the command of Dengizich Son of Attila••, in the Consulate of Zeno and Marcianus, on the year of Christ 469▪ as Marcellinus Comes relates in his Chronicon. Nevertheless the Au∣thour of the Alexandrian Chronicle places that War on the fore∣go••••g year, whereon Anthemius Augustus was Consul. 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 &c. under the same Consul Ginzi••ichus Son to A••t••••as was s••ain by Anagastus Magister Militum [Master of the Milice] of Thracia: I reade Dengizichus, from Priscus R••etor, who describes this War, pag. 44, 45, of the King's Edition. Further, this Ana∣gastus Magister Militum throughout the Thracia's, who flew Dengizi∣chus King of the Hunn•• in Battle, had succeeded Arnegisclus Magister Militum. Vales.
