whose territories you are settled? On one side the cities 20
of the Gætulians, a race invincible in war, and the Numidians
environ you, unbridled as their steeds, and the
inhospitable Syrtis; on another, a region unpeopled by
drought, and the widespread barbarism of the nation of
Barce. What need to talk of the war-cloud threatening 25
from Tyre, and the menaces of our brother? It is under
Heaven’s auspices, I deem, and by Juno’s blessing, that
the vessels of Ilion have made this voyage hither. What
a city, my sister, will ours become before your eyes!
