Ancient sources describe a destructive earthquake along the Phoenician coast, with severe damage reported in Tyre and Sidon, where many buildings collapsed and large numbers of people were killed according to Jerome’s Latin translation of the second part of the Chronicon by Eusebius and Orosius, suggesting that the epicentral region lay to the north. Further south at Caesarea, Eusebius in his book Martyrs of Palestine reports trembling and fear but does not describe structural collapse or casualties, indicating lower intensity. He also notes that a corpse was cast back onto the shore around the time of the earthquake; however, in the absence of clear tsunamigenic evidence at Caesarea, this disturbance is more likely attributable to a storm wave than a tsunami.
