JASCONIUS .. how to pronounce

I need to now how to pronounce this word for a project i'm doing:


Jasconius
is an enormous fish in the story of Saint Brendan. Because of its size Brendan and his fellow voyagers mistake it for an island and land to make camp. They celebrate Easter on the sleeping giant's back, but awaken it when they light their fire. They race to their ship, and Brendan explains that the moving island is really Jasconius, who labors unsuccessfully to put his tail in its mouth (from wikipedia)

So I presume the word is latin if its from the time of St. Brendan.

Any help would be appreciated
