Then went the demons out of the man, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake, and were drowned.

The herd ran violently down a steep place into the lake (the lake of Genesareth or sea of Galilee) and were choked. S. Jerome writes that the place where this happened was well known in his day. The Syriac gives this rendering, "The whole herd hurried up the mountain, and thence rushed into the sea."
