It is, indeed, the right of him whogrants, and not of him who solicits it, to dictate the terms of peace;but perhaps we may not be unwo...rthy to impose upon ourselves the fine. We do not refuse that all those possessions on account of which thewar was begun should be yours--Sicily, Sardinia, Spain, with all theislands lying in any part of the sea, between Africa and Italy. Let usCarthaginians, confined within the shores of Africa, behold you, sincesuch is the pleasure of the gods, extending your empire over foreignnations, both by sea and land. I can not deny that you have reason tosuspect the Carthaginian faith, in consequence of their insinceritylately in soliciting a peace and while awaiting the decision.
