[43] οὐ μὴν οὐδὲ ὁ ἀὴρ ἠρέμει· πάντα γὰρ τὸν οὐρανὸν βαθὺ καὶ συνεχὲς νέφος ἐπεῖχε καὶ πνεύματα ἦν ἐξαίσια πάταγοί τε βροντῶν
καὶ ἐπιλάμψεις ἀστραπῶν καὶ κεραυνῶν φοραί, καταρρηγνυμένων ὄμβρων ἀπαύστων, ὡς νομίσαι τὰ μέρη τοῦ παντὸς εἰς μίαν φύσιν τὴν ὕδατος ἀναστοιχειούμενα σπεύδειν, ἕως τοῦ μὲν ἄνωθεν καταράττοντος τοῦ δὲ κάτωθεν ἐπανιόντος μετάρσια ἤρθη τὰ ῥεῖθρα, οἷς οὐ μόνον ἡ πεδιὰς καὶ ὅση χθαμαλὴ κατακλυσθεῖσα ἠφανίσθη, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ὑψηλοτάτων
ὀρῶν αἱ κορυφαί.

[43] Nor indeed was the air tranquil, for a deep and unbroken cloud overspread the whole heaven, and there were fearful storms of wind, and roarings of thunder, and flashes of lightning, and rapid hurlings of thunderbolts, ceaseless storms of rain being poured forth, so that one might have thought that all the parts of the universe were hastening to dissolve themselves into the one element of the nature of water, until, while the water from above kept pouring down, and that below kept bursting up, the streams were raised to a height above ¹ everything, so that they not only overwhelmed and hid from sight all the plains and all the level ground, but even the tops of the highest mountains,
