    Aeneid 6. 794-800

    quondam, super et Garamantas et Indōs

    prōferet imperium; iacet extrā sīdera tellūs,

    extrā annī sōlisque viās, ubi caelifer Atlās

    axem umerō torquet stellīs ārdentibus aptum.

    Huius in adventum iam nunc et Caspia rēgna

    respōnsīs horrent dīvum et Maeōtia tellūs,

    et septemgeminī turbant trepida ōstia Nīlī.
