Thomas Arnold narrated the account he compiled:
   −
:The Trojans, when they had brought their gods on shore, began to sacrifice.  But the victim, a milk-white sow just ready to farrow, broke from the priest and his ministers, and fled away. Aeneas followed her, for an oracle had told him that a four-footed beast should guide him to the spot where he was to build his city.  So the sow went forwards till she came to a certain hill, about two miles and a half from the shore where they had purposed to sacrifice, and there she laid down and farrowed, and her litter was of thirty young ones. But when Aeneas saw that the place was sandy and barren he doubted what he should do. Just at this time he heard a voice which said, "The thirty young of the sow are thirty years; when thirty years are passed, thy children shall remove to a better land; meantime do thou obey the gods, and build thy city in the place where they bid thee to build." So the Trojans built their city on the spot where the sow had farrowed.
