Sir G. Tempre on a Phenizian Tombstone Sound at Maghriiwah. 549 
horse. It is I think a matter of astonishment that even these few have 
survived to the present day, when we recollect that the Romans did all in 
their power to obliterate, by the destruction of the institutions and monu- 
ments of the Punic power, all traces of the existence of that nation. The 
principle of ‘ delenda est Carthago’ was not confined to the destruction of 
the capital, but extended itself through all the provinces as far as the vast 
Sahira, effacing in all directions every thing which could in itself be 
thought to carry down to future ages the proof of the existence of Rome’s 
greatest rival.
