2559 XI  |             resounded in spite of the plaudits of the Carthaginians. Thus
2560 I   |             followed her.~The priests played nearly stifled chords on

2585 VIII|         pleasure did they derive from plunging their swords into the bodies
2586 XIII|             of the machines. Thus the plyers for seizing the rams were

2589 IV  |               received them. Next the polemarchs of the Greeks demanded some
