““Fēmina, quae nostrīs errāns in fīnibus urbem exiguam pretiō posuit, cui lītus arandum, cuique locī lēgēs dedimus ….” “A woman, astray, who planted her little town along our shores for a price, to whom we gave arable coastland, and to whom [we gave] laws of settlement ….” (A resentful King Iarbas mocks Queen Dido; the acreage she bought for Carthage may be small, sandy, and less than ideal for farming. Robert Fagles’ translation, pg. 135, conveys Iarbas’ bitterness: “We tossed her some beach to plow – on my terms ….”)”
