Attributed. Quoted in Florus Epitome, bk.1, pt.31 (Cato inexpiabili odio delendam esse Carthaginem, et cum de alio consuletur, pronuntiabat, Cato bore an unquenchable hatred to Carthage and used to announce that Carthage had to be destroyed, even when he was consulted on a different subject) and Pliny Naturalis Historia, bk.15, ch.74.
