29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.110–112:
-
[...] trīs Eurus ab altō
in brevia et syrtīs urget, miserābile vīsū,
inlīditque vadīs atque aggere cingit harēnae.-
[...] three [ships] the Southeaster drives from the deep sea onto shallow sandbanks – [a sight] miserable to behold – and dashes [them] on the shoals and surrounds [them] with mounds of sand.
(Latin texts vary: “syrtis” or “syrtes.” Specifically, the poetic geography could intend either “Syrtis Major,” now known as the Gulf of Sidra, or “Syrtis Minor,” now the Gulf of Gabès. The Greek east or southeast wind was Eurus.)
