- 29 BCE – 19 BCE, Virgil, Aeneid 1.19-20:
- Prōgeniem sed enim Trōiānō ā sanguine dūcī,
audierat, Tyriās ōlim quae verteret arcēs.- But indeed – From the blood of Troy was to issue a race of men,
[so] she had heard, [a people] which one day would overthrow this Tyrian citadel.
(The goddess Juno resented the descendants of Troy who would later found Rome, which one day would supersede her beloved Carthage; the Carthaginians had come from Tyre. Note: This usage of audierat is an abbreviated form of audiverat, “she had heard.”)
