So we sailed away quickly from there also, being much terrified; and, passing on for four days, we observed at night a country full of flames.

In the middle was a lofty fire, larger than the rest, which seemed to touch the stars.

When day came, we discovered it to be a huge hill, called 'the Chariot of the Gods.' On the third day after our departure thence, after sailing by streams of fire, we arrived at a bay, called 'the Southern Horn;' at the bottom of which lay an island like the former one, having a lake, and in the lake another island full of savage people, far the greater part of whom were women, whose bodies were hairy, and whom our interpreters called 'gorillae.' Though we pursued the men, we could not catch any of them; but all escaped us, climbing over the precipices, and defending themselves with stones.

Three women were, however, taken; but they attacked their conductors with their teeth and nails, and could not be prevailed upon to accompany us.

So we killed them, and flayed them, and brought their skins with us to Carthage.
