In Ponte Euxine nagavi; Ovidii vidique sepulcram

* He travels for five days on horseback across the Dacian plains (6)

* Behold the statue of Glycoon, maned serpent and chief of the household gods (5)

* He has forgotten so much Latin in ten years that he speaks it no better than the tongue of the Getans (8)

* The inhabitants of Dacia are accustomed to dine upon fried pork and polenta; and in this manner he has also dined (5)

* Tomorrow he intends to cross on the wings of Mercury the Gallic and the Germanic lands, to return to that place called by the Phoenicians the Islands of Tin (8)
