Book 12.766-773
There was an olive tree sacred to Faunus standing in the field. Aeneas' spear had fixed itself in it.
Forte sacer Fauno foliis oleaster amaris
766
hic steterat, nautis olim venerabile lignum,
767
servati ex undis ubi figere dona solebant
768
Laurenti divo et votas suspendere vestes,
769
sed stirpem Teucri nullo discrimine sacrum
770
sustulerant, puro ut possent concurrere campo.
771
Hic hasta Aeneae stabat, huc impetus illam
772
detulerat fixam et lenta in radice tenebat.
