  1 I   |         was at Megara, a suburb of Carthage, in the gardens of Hamilcar.
  2 I   |          recalled the injustice of Carthage. The Republic, in fact,
  3 I   |        were regarded as enemies to Carthage. The Mercenaries understood
  4 I   |             so that, despairing of Carthage, he had entrusted the government
  5 I   |         their modes of worship; in Carthage they were free! As to the

 10 I   |         now poured full-rayed upon Carthage the golden rain of his veins.
 11 I   |          and nothing binds them to Carthage, neither families, oaths
 12 I   |        surround him. Command them! Carthage is ours; let us fall upon

 15 II  |            who looked back towards Carthage could now only see its long
 16 II  |        horizon in the direction of Carthage; the light stretched like
 17 II  |        glances in the direction of Carthage.~He was the son of a Greek
 18 II  |           ergastulum of Megara, at Carthage. But, as fugitives were

 44 IV  |      Africa was about to fall upon Carthage. Only the sea was open to

 64 VI  |         Tunis especially execrated Carthage! Older than the metropolis,
 65 VI  |    employed for the destruction of Carthage. Piles of lances were heaped
 66 VI  |          merchants on their way to Carthage, despairing of any more
 67 VI  |           Phoenician colonies like Carthage, they were self-governing,
 68 VI  |         for bringing assistance to Carthage from without. If Utica alone

 70 VI  |          had been summoned against Carthage, and now they were going
 71 VI  |          they would return against Carthage. Already there was a considerable

 83 VI  |          understand.~The return to Carthage took place amid all kinds
 84 VI  |          stretched upon the cross.~Carthage had not strength enough
 85 VII |     sounded a loud brazen cry over Carthage.~People came out of every
 86 VII |           establishment of another Carthage down yonder. His projects
 87 VII |         the tower which overlooked Carthage.~The town sank downwards
 88 VII |          to become acquainted with Carthage.”~“No, no! not yet!” exclaimed
 89 VII |       promises, and I have come to Carthage only to buy him a dagger
 90 VII |         see me, you will return to Carthage on the first day of every
 91 VII |          why you did not return to Carthage?”~“What is that to you?”
 92 VII |        there would be great joy in Carthage now! How many times did
 93 VII |           what did you do here, at Carthage, in your houses, behind
 94 VII |        scream and a heap of ruins. Carthage, thou wilt fall!”~The four

 96 VII |        half open, he said:~“Barca, Carthage has need that you should

104 VIII|         Ligurians, and the best in Carthage, he could form only a simple
105 VIII|           night he would go out of Carthage alone and make his way beyond
106 VIII|          Often he would go towards Carthage, striving to catch sight
107 VIII|         his soldiers to march upon Carthage. At Utica the army under

109 IX  |            the people, had sent to Carthage the two thousand captives

112 IX  |          came beneath the walls of Carthage to implore the protection
113 IX  |    Tebourba as though to return to Carthage. Scarcely was he in one
114 IX  |       Council no succour came from Carthage.~It was said, perhaps it
115 IX  |            as being the nearest to Carthage.~The Suffet therefore left
116 IX  |             in their execration of Carthage, had assumed the ensigns
117 IX  |     gesticulating. The war against Carthage was his own personal affair;
118 IX  |     Hamilcar was so indignant with Carthage that he felt inclined to
119 IX  |           the news of the disaster Carthage had leaped, as it were,
120 IX  |           cascades upon the steps. Carthage was agitated with funereal
121 IX  |          waters, she had abandoned Carthage; she was a deserter, an
122 X   |        anguish deepened.~No one in Carthage was so learned as he. In
123 X   |          gazed upon the stars, and Carthage spread below under their
124 X   |           zaimph were restored and Carthage delivered, what mattered

129 XI  |           Then terror entered into Carthage. There were cries of the
130 XI  |          Do I trouble myself about Carthage! The crowd of its people
131 XI  |         Matho.~“I am going back to Carthage,” she placidly replied.~
132 XI  |           the spot.~“Going back to Carthage!” He stammered, and, grinding
133 XI  |           repeated:~“Going back to Carthage! Ah! you came to take the
134 XI  |           formidable man who makes Carthage tremble!”~He fell asleep.

136 XI  |            day have I despaired of Carthage! Though I had seen all the
137 XI  |        country, even the safety of Carthage!’” The motion of his toothless
138 XI  |         had prevented the siege of Carthage and the massacre of the
139 XII |           to fight no more against Carthage. As to those who had been
140 XII |        Hamilcar closed the road to Carthage against them; they were
141 XII |          one Hipponax, coming from Carthage, had informed them that
142 XII |     Barbarians of the injustice of Carthage. The Suffet’s mildness was
143 XII |          the gods and the might of Carthage seemed now to belong to
144 XII |         and the latter returned to Carthage furious at the baseness
145 XII |            conveying provisions to Carthage, foundered in a storm. The
146 XII |            he resolved to re-enter Carthage in order to obtain soldiers
147 XII |            houses appeared! It was Carthage. He leaned against a tree
148 XII |           resolved to lay siege to Carthage.~The rumour of the war,
149 XII |           of the stars. This great Carthage, mistress of the seas, splendid
150 XII |          from the neighbourhood of Carthage, who had long composed the
151 XII |            complete extermination.~Carthage might hold out for a long
152 XII |         since the return to before Carthage, it seemed to him that the
153 XII |           away in the direction of Carthage.~One man had remained. He

155 XIII|     semicircles so as to encompass Carthage the better. The hoplites
156 XIII|        them, gave them good hopes. Carthage recovered from its dejection;
157 XIII|        battlements thus surrounded Carthage like monstrous vultures;
158 XIII|            set it on fire and burn Carthage like a den of foxes.~Spendius
159 XIII|        might be rolled along. Then Carthage would find it quite impossible
160 XIII|        Moloch was in possession of Carthage; he clasped the ramparts,
161 XIII|           them, and the defence of Carthage was forgotten. The Suffet
162 XIII|    according to him, was besieging Carthage to recover the zaimph; and
163 XIII|         bulls were in existence in Carthage. Hamilcar asked the Ancients
164 XIII|        somewhere so as to re-enter Carthage; and, flourishing his terrible
165 XIII|    immolation by fire would purify Carthage. The ferocity of the people
166 XIII|        almost immediately known in Carthage, and lamentations resounded.
167 XIII|         since he was the master of Carthage.~At last, exhausted by his
168 XIII|           the very ships as though Carthage wished to concentrate herself
169 XIII|          by one,—and the people of Carthage stood breathless, and absorbed
170 XIII|           terror with the needs of Carthage, muttered the Eleusinian
171 XIV |            the Lagoon, and entered Carthage.~He presented himself as
172 XIV |          his own; she had left for Carthage after the betrothal. His
173 XIV |      deeper reason prompted aid to Carthage. It was felt that if the
174 XIV |            had stamped the seal of Carthage upon the sword-belt. He
175 XIV |        could even, said the man of Carthage, come a little nearer, to
176 XIV |        which they had received for Carthage, and which looked like inscriptions
177 XIV |            had sent Narr’ Havas to Carthage with the news of his victory;
178 XIV |         such as there were none in Carthage, and the apartments in their
179 XIV |        great anxiety, when he left Carthage. The people had received
180 XIV |       sharer in the deliverance of Carthage.~He proceeded immediately

189 XIV |           longer, had set out from Carthage, and, for the purpose of
190 XIV |         strongest.~The people from Carthage began to throw spits, larding-pins
191 XIV |          with great tumult towards Carthage.~The news of the victory
192 XV  |           There were rejoicings at Carthage,—rejoicings deep, universal,
193 XV  |          seemed the very genius of Carthage, and its embodied soul.~
194 XV  |            This vast baying filled Carthage with stupid continuity.
195 XV  |           buildings shook with it; Carthage was convulsed, as it were,
