Breuis Commentarius de Islandia: quo Scriptorum de hac Insula errores deteguntur, & extraneorum quorundam conuitijs, ac calumnijs, quibus Islandis liberius insultare solent, occurritur: per Arngrimum Ionam Islandum. Serenissimo Principi ac Domino, domino Christiano IIII, Dania, Noruegia, Vandalorum, Gothorumque, Regi electo: Slesuici, Holsatia, Stormaria & Dithmarsia Duci: Comiti in Oldenburg & Delmenhorst: Domino suo clementissimo.

Praclaram sane apud Historicos meretur laudem, Sereniss. Princeps, Anchuri illius Mida regis filij ausus plusquam humanus, & in patriam pietas, fere exemplo carens, quod ad occludendum ingentem circa Celanam Phrygia oppidum, terra hiatum, quotidie homines haud exiguo numero, & quicquid in propinquo erat, absorbentem, sese vltro obtulerit. Cum enim ab oraculo Midas pater accepisset, non prius conclusum iri istam voraginem, quam res eo preciosissima immitterentur: Anchurus existimans, nihil esse anima pretiosius, sese viuum in illud profundissimum chasma pracipitem dedit: idque tanto animi cum feruore, vt neque parentis desiderio, neque dulcissima coniugis amplexu vel lachrymis, ab isto proposito se retrahi passus sit.
