' Pater meus ' inquit ' Hamilcar puerulo me , utpote non amplius VIIII annos nato , in Hispaniam imperator proficiscens Carthagine , Iovi optimo maximo hostias immolavit . Quae divina res dum conficiebatur , quaesivit a me , vellemne secum in castra proficisci . Id cum libenter accepissem atque ab eo petere coepissem , ne dubitaret ducere , tum ille ' Faciam ' , inquit ' si mihi fidem , quam postulo , dederis . ' Simul me ad aram adduxit , apud quam sacrificare instituerat , eamque ceteris remotis tenentem iurare iussit numquam me in amicitia cum Romanis fore . Id ego ius iurandum patri datum usque ad hanc aetatem conservavi .
My
Father
Hamilcar
told
me
as
a
little
boy
me
having
been
born
not
more
than
nine
years
,
Hamilcar
setting
out
to
Spain
as
the
commander
of
Carthedge
.
Offering
Jupiter
,
a
sacrifice
being
the
biggest
and
the
best
.
When
the
divine
thing
was
being
done
,
he
asked
me
if
I
wanted
to
set
out
towards
the
fortress
.
This
I
willingling
accepted
and
drove
him
to
begin
not
to
lead
uncertain
,
then
"
I
will
do
it
"
he
said
,
"
if
you
give
faith
,
which
I
promised
you
will
give
"
AT
the
same
time
he
led
me
to
sacrifice
,
with
that
the
sacrifice
was
set
up
a
,
holding
on
to
with
everyone
else
being
removed
it
swear
to
never
be
friends
with
the
romans
.
I
kept
this
sworn
oath
having
been
given
to
my
father
until
his
age
.
