The Eat wind is often poken of as being of a violent and dangerous nature. It is aid in the Book of Pfalm to "break the hips of Tarhih;" and a imilar expreion concerning it is found in the Prophet Ezechiel. Virgil mentions its ravages in the Woods of Mount Caucaus, a part of which, and that with which Virgil was mot likely to be acquainted, lies on the Eatern border of the Black Sea.

It is decribed by others as accompanied by clouds, and as raiing uch a well of the ea, as Arrian tells us was experienced by his fleet. .
