X. [1] Some further add that Aeneas carried to burial the sickly mother of a certain companion Euxinus last summer on that shore near the marsh, which is between Misenon and Avernum, and also the place got its name from that; and that when he found out in the same place that one of the Sibylls prophesied the future to mortals in the town, which is called Cimbarion, he came there informed of the state of his fortunes and forbidden after the oracles were consulted, so he would not bury his relative Prochyta, connected to him by blood, whom he left safe and sound.

[2] And after he went back to the fleet and discovered that her dead body was buried on the next island, which now is also of the same name, as Vulcatius and Acilius Piso write.

[3] Then he left and arrived at the place now called the gates of Caieta from the name of his wet-nurse, whom he buried there after she passed away.

[4] But certainly Caesar and Sempronius said that the cognomen, not the nomen, of Caieta was clearly named after him, because with his advice and urging the Trojan mothers set fire to the long ships of the fleet in disgust, clearly from the Greek apo tou kaiein, which is "to burn."

[5] Then, he reached the border of Italy when Latinus was reigning, which is called Laureus from the orchard of the same kind, he exited the ship with his father Anchises, son, and others, and sat for a meal on the shore; After he devoured what food there was, he finished off the crust of the measures of spelt, which he had with him for sacrifice.
