Citation :For at Erech there stands yet a black stone that was brought, it was said, from Númenor by Isildur ; and it was set upon a hill, and upon it the King of the Mountains swore allegiance to him in the beginning of the realm of Gondor »

Car à Erech se dresse encore une pierre noire apportée de Númenor, dit-on, par Isildur ; et Isildur la plaça ["et elle était/fut installée/placée] sur une colline, et là, au commencement du Gondor, le Roi des Montagnes lui jura allégeance" (trad. D. Lauzon)

« For upon the top stood a black stone, round as a great globe, the height of a man, though its half was buried in the ground. Unearthly it looked, as though it had fallen from the sky, as some believed; but those who remembered still the lore of Westernesse told that it had been brought out of the ruin of Númenor and there set by Isildur at his landing. »

Car au sommet se dressait une pierre noire et ronde; tel un globe immense, aussi grande qu'un homme bien qu'à moitié enterrée. Elle ne semblait pas de ce monde, comme si elle était tombée du ciel, et certains le croyaient ; mais ceux qui entretenaient le savoir de l'Occidentale soutenaient que cette pierre avait été sauvée de la ruine de Numenor, et placée là par Isildur quand il avait accosté" trad. D. Lauzon

Citation :The extraordinary thing about this, of course, is the site of Erech. It seems plain beyond any question from all the evidence presented in The War of the Ring (see especially the chapter 'Many Roads Lead Eastward (1)') that from its first emergence Erech was in the southern foothills of Ered Nimrais, near the source of Morthond: Erech stands self-evidently in close relationship with the Paths of the Dead. Why then did my father now move it, first (in a) to the coast between the mouths of Lameduin and Ethir Anduin, and then (in b and c) to Cobas Haven (north of Dol Amroth: see the Second Map, VIII.434)? I am unable to propose any explanation. ».

Citation :« This is a stone set up between the mouths of Lamedui and the Ethir Anduin delta to commemorate the landing of Isildur and Anarion. »
ce texte est ensuite remplacé par un nouveau,  apparemment lui-même largement corrigé...
« Stone of Erech was black stone fabled to have been brought from Numenor, and set to mark the landing of Isildur and Anarion and their reception as kings by the dark men of the land. It stood on the shores of Cobas, near the outflow of Morthond, and about it was a ruined wall within which was also a ruined tower. In the vault under the tower forgotten was one of the Palantir[i]. From Erech a road ran by [the] sea, skirting in a loop the hills of Tarnost, and so to Ethir Anduin and the Lebennin. »

Citation :« They were mighty men and their ships were strong and tall, but the tempests overtook them, and they borne were aloft on hills of water even to the clouds, and they descended upon Middle-earth like birds of the storm. »

Citation :« And the deeps rose beneath them in towering anger, and waves like unto mountains moving with great caps of writhen snow bore them up amid the wreckage of the clouds, and after many days cast them away upon the shores of Middle-earth. And all the coasts and seaward regions of the western world suffered great change and ruin in that time; for the seas invaded the lands, and shores foundered, and ancient isles were drowned, and new isles were uplifted; and hills crumbled and rivers were turned into strange courses. »
