132 XII |               Others approached, and the Barbarians recognised some of their
133 XII |            received from the Suffet; the Barbarians listened to them with jealousy
134 XII |                  come and take them. The Barbarians picked up flints; all took

139 XII |                the stewards, and all the Barbarians of the injustice of Carthage.
140 XII |                 intolerable fashion.~The Barbarians looked at him at first with
141 XII |                between Carthaginians and Barbarians neither faith, pity, nor
142 XII |              they were to drive back the Barbarians.~Hanno had accepted the

145 XII |             accepted the alliance of the Barbarians, and they despatched to
146 XII |              sleep. At the same time the Barbarians arrived; Magdassin fled;
147 XII |                 begin the war again.~The Barbarians posted at Hippo-Zarytus
148 XII |                  and all be crushed. The Barbarians dashed in pursuit of them.~

157 XII |             Carthage and victory for the Barbarians.~In an instant the awakened
158 XII |             houses, and the temples. The Barbarians pressed forward with shouts.

161 XIII|                 On the wall fronting the Barbarians they collected tree-trunks,
162 XIII|              increase its thickness.~The Barbarians grew angry at the sight
163 XIII|                the immense throng of the Barbarians undulated over the plain
164 XIII|                to the first lines of the Barbarians, and taking them in flank,

166 XIII|                see the manoeuvres of the Barbarians between the towers; on days
167 XIII|                 being free.~But soon the Barbarians posted an immense raft in
168 XIII|                at first with the wounded Barbarians; then they were thrown corpses
169 XIII|                  food, and the stupefied Barbarians sometimes allowed them to

172 XIII|                 lay hands upon them.~The Barbarians were animated with increased
173 XIII|                 from the walls. Then the Barbarians, not satisfied with their
174 XIII|                 shout uttered by all the Barbarians simultaneously; the leaden-tubed
175 XIII|               ladders grappled them; and Barbarians’ heads appeared in the intervals
176 XIII|                yards rapidly; and as the Barbarians had sacked the old cemetery
177 XIII|              Market, now belonged to the Barbarians, and the Samnites were finishing
178 XIII|               everywhere, and led on the Barbarians. Two pouches hung at his
179 XIII|                the better to command the Barbarians all at once. He had been
180 XIII|                all its joints.~The other Barbarians rushed up to help them,
181 XIII|                   night came on; and the Barbarians gradually retired.~Nothing
182 XIII|                  done now? Moreover, the Barbarians were countless, and when
183 XIII|                  light had attracted the Barbarians to the foot of the walls;
184 XIV |                  irreparable crimes.~The Barbarians had encountered the storm
185 XIV |            through the country.~Then the Barbarians were indignant as though
186 XIV |                important posts; thus the Barbarians stared when they perceived
187 XIV |              back the Gauls, and all the Barbarians found that they were themselves
188 XIV |             recalling him, but the other Barbarians were already wandering about
189 XIV |                wished to guide them.~The Barbarians had at first tried to encompass
190 XIV |                flight like vultures. The Barbarians posted at the extremities
191 XIV |         surrounding of lofty cliffs. The Barbarians dashed into it in order

198 XIV |              troubled the sight; and the Barbarians thought that through the
199 XIV |               the cloaks and hair of the Barbarians were being covered with
200 XIV |               edge of the precipice; the Barbarians gazed at him from below.~
201 XIV |             immovable on the side of the Barbarians—for it would have been necessary
202 XIV |            immense ruined staircase.~The Barbarians were still unable to climb
203 XIV |              dish of smoking gourds. The Barbarians fastened their eyes upon
204 XIV |                into the hands of the ten Barbarians in turn, and pressed their

209 XIV |             sides in parallel lines.~The Barbarians were frozen with a nameless

215 XIV |              announced the defeat of the Barbarians to her. She thanked him
216 XIV |                  the inhabitants and the Barbarians were dead, hidden, or fled.
217 XIV |               whole army rushed upon the Barbarians. The latter returned, and
218 XIV |             cross stood at the gate. The Barbarians howled: “Here! here!” But
219 XIV |                generosity astonished the Barbarians; some were terrified by
220 XIV |                 double the number of the Barbarians. Nevertheless, he had never

225 XIV |                that is being closed. The Barbarians, who were attacking the
226 XIV |                 in triple array.~But the Barbarians placed at the extremities
227 XIV |               bristling with lances. The Barbarians found it impossible to resist;
228 XIV |               impregnable as a wall. The Barbarians would come to re-form behind
