CARTHAGE, a celebrated City seated on the coasts of Africk, and a Colony from Ezek. xxvii. 12.Tyre in Phœnicia. Ezekiel says, the Carthaginians came to Tyre to carry on a Trade there: Carthaginenses negotiatores tui. But the Hebrew Text instead of Carthaginenses reads Tarshish, which rather signifies the City of Tarsus in Cilicia, which formerly was a place famous for its Trade.
