Italian term or phrase: Plotino nacque a Licopoli
Plotino was an ancient Italian philosopher born in Egypt. He is known for the philosophical school of thought known as neoplatonism. I think Licopoli is the Egyptian city in which Platino is thought to have been born. But I have been completely unable to find a translation for the word "nacque".
