Acerbas

He was possessed of considerable wealth, which, knowing the avarice of Pygmalion, who had succeeded his father, he concealed in the earth.

But Pygmalion, who heard of these hidden treasures, had Acerbas murdered, in hopes that through his sister he might obtain possession of them.

But the prudence of Elissa saved the treasures, and she emigrated from Phoenicia.

[1] They landed and settled in North Africa, founding the city of Carthage.

In this account Acerbas is the same person as Sychaeus, and Elissa the same as Dido in Virgil.
