The princess announced that she expects a son from Hannibal and showed her sadness by her separation from Hannibal, whom she wanted to accompany in her expedition, while again bitterly retelling, a year later, a recent dream in which she saw the besieged city and the five hills burn.
The goddess confirmed that she would give birth to a man whom Hannibal would come to know, but warned him that the son would not inherit his father's kingdom and that if the general returned from the city, they would never meet again.
Finally, Tanit assured Himilce that Rome would end up getting to the city.
