The standard numbering of this passage is XXXV.lxi. With punctuation and capitalization adjusted by transcriber to match translation:

Quid non in Africa Hispaniaque e terra parietes, quos appellant 'formaceos', quoniam in forma circumdatis ii utrimque tabulis inferciuntur verius quam struuntur? Aevis durant, incorrupti imbribus, ventis, ignibus omnique caemento firmiores. Spectat etiam nunc speculas Hannibalis Hispania terrenasque turres iugis montium inpositas.
