CONQUEROR OF CARTHAGE.
Sir,-Even a sub-editor nods occasionally. You have allowed your contributor C.T. to rob my old friend Scipio Africanus Jnr. of his laurels in the 3rd Punic war in favour of another general who still had to wait about 50 years before being born. In case the conqueror of Carthage should, after having "Erisus arcés attigit igneas," feel hurt at the mis-statement of a New Zealander of the 20th Century A.D., if by any chance he reads the article in the Elysian fields, would you kindly make the necessary correction and apology. p.p. P. C. AX. Africanus Minor Scipio |
