Fragment Regarding 'Mu' from a Greek Miscellany

Found in the library at Xenofontos on Mount Athos. Written in Greek.

   Yet Kesare did say, We shall easily outrun it. But her great aunt did say,
   Brother, stay your hand; grand-niece, quit your folly. I know another way.
   
   And he replied, Sister, heaven and hell be much closer to us than we would
   feign believe, and indeed, they exist all around us. There be no escape there. The
   waters may not flow to extinguish the fires of gehenna, but even then there
   is no escape. For these places are not fixed, and fall apart as wet clay
   before firing.
   
   And she replied, Even still, there is another way.
   
   And she was ridiculed and driven hence. And Kesare fled to the far edges of
   the earth, to die there. And other built boats in may lands. But Noria spoke
   far and wide, and no one believed her. "Where is this power of yours?" they
   said. "Let us see it."
   
   And she came among the Nakal, in the mountains of Mu, who said, Behold we
   have a land most uneven, and even here among the mountains we live in the
   lowlands. And surely we shall all perish if your words prove false.
   
   And so fell Mu, and only its mountain tips now show. Only the sons of the
   eagle do remember their ancestors. Yet even now they live in the land of Madem,
   and perhaps they will outlive even the baffle of Armageddon. While the
   daughter of Bithos sleepeth beneath the waves.
   
   The name remaineth sacred.
   
   But woe betide the madness of Besna, who did metamorphose beautiful Kandon into a
   land of ghosts!
