“Unam longe ante alias specie ac pulchritudine insignem a globo Thalassii cuiusdam raptam ferunt multisque sciscitantibus cuinam eam ferrent, identidem ne quis violaret Thalassio ferri clamitatum; inde nuptialem hanc vocem factam.”

One woman, extraordinary in her appearance and beauty, was captured by a group led by a certain Thalassius.
