“et in his omnibus inter nos et vos chaos magnum firmatum est ut hi qui volunt hinc transire ad vos, non possint, neque inde huc transmeare.”
And besides all this, between us and you, there is fixed a great chaos: so that they who would pass from hence to you, cannot, nor from thence come hither.
“Ante mare et terrās et quod tegit omnia caelum ūnus erat tōtō nātūrae vultus in orbe, quem dīxēre chaos: rudis indīgestaque mōlēs nec quicquam nisi pondus iners congestaque eōdem”
Before the sea and the lands and the sky that covers over all things, there was one face of nature in the whole world, which they called chaos: a raw and unorganized mass, and nothing if not an inert weight and, gathered in the same place, the discordant seeds of things not well joined together.
