Borysthenes Alanus, Caesareus veredus, per aequor et paludes et tumulos Etruscos 5volare qui solebat, Pannonicos nec ullus apros eum insequentem dente aper albicanti ausus fuit nocere: 11sparsit ab ore caudam 10vel extimam saliva, ut solet evenire. sed integer iuventa inviolatus artus 15die sua peremptus hic situs est in agro.

On his Favourite Hunting-horse
Borysthenes the Alana Was mighty Caesar’s steed: O’er marshland and o’er level, O’er Tuscan hills, with speed He used to fly, and never Could any rushing boar Amid Pannonian boar-hunt Make bold his flank to goreb With sharp tusk whitely gleaming: The foam from off his lips, As oft may chance, would sprinkle His tail e’en to the tips. But he in youthful vigour, His limbs unsapped by toil, On his own day extinguished, Here lies beneath the soil.
