Exempla

““Nōn obtūsa adeō gestāmus pectora Poenī,”

“We Phoenicians do not have minds so dulled, nor [is] the Sun god turned so far away from [our] Tyrian city [when] he yokes [his] horses [each morning].” (Regarding the Trojan War, Queen Dido says that her people are not so ignorant or unfeeling, nor figuratively unenlightened, as to be unaware of its significance. Note: Some Latin texts use the variant “obtunsa,” from obtunsus.)
