Wherefore the before-mentioned poet, in the first book of the Thebaid already quoted, says that when Acesta the nurse of Argia and Deiphile, the daughters of King Adrastus, led them before the eyes of their holy father into the presence of the two pilgrims, that is to say, Polynices and Tydeus, the virgins grew pale and blushed rosy-red, and their eyes shunned the glance of any other person, and they kept them fixed on the paternal face alone, as if there were safety.
"Your friend Acestes is of Trojan kind; To him disclose the secrets of your mind; Here you may build a common town for all, And, from Acestes' name, Acesta call." While AEneas was still in doubt what course to pursue, his father appeared to him in a dream and bade him do as Nautes had advised.
Let this land give a city to the weary; they shall be allowed to call their town Acesta by name. Then, indeed, kindled by these words of his aged friend, his spirit is distracted among all his cares.
