Latin term

Et Vivum Detulim Aprum Terribilem

Non-PRO Latin to Greek Art/Literary
This phrase is on top of a tapestry. The scene is that of a lion attacking a boar in the woods. Pan is standing off to the side of them. Several searches for this phrase came up with reference to Vergil's Aeneid. So if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

and he took away the terrible (frightfull) wild boar by force

ET VIVUM TETULIT APRUM TERRIBILEM

"and he took away the terrible (frightfull) wild boar by force"

this would be the meaning
sorry but don't have time to explain word by word, esp. the tricky one like "tetulit" (te-fero, te-tuli...etc)

hope it helps :)
