   • 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.”)
