' 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
,
with
me
being
a
little
boy
said
when
you
were
born
a
great
nine
years
ago
in
Spain
,
The
emperor
settled
for
Carthage
then
sacrificed
offerings
to
great
grave
jupiter
.
He
asked
me
if
I
would
like
to
go
to
the
camp
with
him
,
When
I
gladly
accepted
this
and
began
to
ask
that
he
not
to
doubt
to
lead
me
,
I
will
do
it
if
you
have
given
me
the
faith
in
me
which
I
ask
for
.
At
the
same
time
he
led
me
to
the
altar
where
the
sacrifice
takes
place
,
he
ordered
me
to
hold
on
to
the
altar
that
I
will
never
be
friends
with
romans
.
I
kept
this
sworn
oath
having
been
given
to
my
father
up
until
this
age
.
