     Titulos neopunicis elementis scriptos inter tot milia votorum Tanitidi et Baali Hammoni dicatorum fere nullos reperimus; quod quidem mire quadrat cum opinione eorum qui volunt titulos Taniteos ante destructam a Romanis Carthaginem conscriptos fuisse.

     We find almost no inscriptions with Neo-Punic characteristics among the thousands of offerings consecrated to Tanit and Baal Hammon; which fits very well with the opinion of those who consider the inscriptions to Tanit to have been written before Carthage was destroyed by Rome.
