huts,

hutments.

magalia and mapalia were Punic words, or the same Punic word, for huts or small dwellings. magalia was also used for the suburbs of Carthage. There may be a connection between magalia here and the word aviariae (which is not here translated); for Cato speaks of

magalia

as cohortes rotundae, and a cohors is a cattle-pen or a poultry-pen. Cf. Cato in Servius on Virgil Aen. i. 421 (E. H. Warmington).

2. The colonies were Pisaurum, Potentia, and Sinuessa, and possibly the three statues were erected there.
