He describes the sword as like the beak of the ship known as the trireme, which was rowed with three banks of oars.

It has been like a splendid and richly-dressed trireme sailing, plague-stricken, into a harbor full of ships and boats.

And there, in the soft embracement of the bay, a bird with folded wings asleep—the trireme!
