Exempla

“Ille indignatus 'cupies dare' dixit et alto⟳ desiluit saxo; cuncti cecidisse putabant: factus olor niveis pendebat in aere pennis; at genetrix Hyrie, servati nescia, flendo”

Scorned, [Cycnus] said 'You'll want to deliver [the bull]' and from a tall rock he threw himself, all sure of his death, but in mid-air, made into a swan, by pearly feathers stood. His mother Hyrie, however, not knowing him saved, weeping wasted away and was turned into a lake.

Boeotos Hyantas antiquitus dixere. On the coast below Thebes are Ocalee, Heleon, Scolos, Schoenos, Peteon, Hyrie, Mycalesos, Ireseum, Pteleon, Olyarum, Tanagra (a free state), and right in the channel of the Euripus, formed by the island of Euboea lying opposite, Aulis, famous for⟳ its spacious harbour.
