Thucydides maketh mention of a plague that began at 1Ethiopia, fell down into Egypt, and Afric, and into the ⟨p. 117⟩greatest part of Persia, and invaded Athens on a sudden, where dying men lay tumbling one upon another. Their Temples were filled with the dead. Laws of funerals were broken: every one burying where he could find room. And while fires were made to burn some dead corps, others were brought and cast thereinto.

Eusebius recordeth a plague at Alexandria which made 1every man to howl through the City by reason of the multitude of dead corps, which daily fell. There was not an house where no course was found. And the Heathen there left their dead unburied, to be devoured of dogs.
