So saying, the son of Maia down he sent, / to open Carthage and the Libyan state, / lest Dido, weetless of the Fates' intent, / should drive the Trojan wanderers from her gate.
So varð sagt, at son Maiu hann oman sendi at lata upp Kartago og tað libyska ríkið, so at Dido, ikki vitandi um  ætlan lagnugudinanna,  skuldi reka vallararnar úr Troyu burtur frá hennara grindum.
