“Hinc Gaetūlae urbēs, genus īnsuperābile bellō, et Numidae īnfrēnī cingunt et inhospita Syrtīs; hinc dēserta sitī regiō, lātēque furentēs Barcaeī. [...].”
“On this side [are] the cities of the Gaetulians, a race unconquerable in war, and the Numidians [who ride] unbridled, as well as the forbidding [sandbanks of the] Syrtes surrounding [us];on the other side lies a forsaken desert region, with its Barcaean people raging far and wide.” (Anna reminds Dido that Carthage is surrounded by both geographic and political dangers. For another Virgilian example of the correlative “hinc…hinc,” cf. Eclogues 1.54-57.)
† Turned conjunction with original meaning somewhat dissimilated ° Rare ‡ Only used as a conjunction, not as an interrogative. * Old Latin; ridiculed by most grammarians in later stages.
