Genesis 14:10

And the vale of Siddim was full of slimepits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell there; and they that remained fled to the mountain.

KJV

Vallis autem Silvestris habebat puteos multos bituminis. Itaque rex Sodomorum, et Gomorrhæ, terga verterunt, cecideruntque ibi : et qui remanserant, fugerunt ad montem.

Vulgate

ἡ δὲ κοιλὰς ἡ ἁλυκὴ φρέατα ἀσφάλτου. ἔφυγεν δὲ βασιλεὺς Σοδόμων καὶ βασιλεὺς Γομόρρας, καὶ ἐνέπεσαν ἐκεῖ· οἱ δὲ καταλειφθέντες εἰς τὴν ὀρινὴν ἔφυγον.

LXX

Now the vale of Siddim was full of slime pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and they fell there, and they that remained fled to the mountain.
