Exempla

““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 ….”)”
