Gah.. Latin help? I think I got this messed up.?

"Troiani *** suis deis, Laribus et Penatibus*, de oppido, Troia, navigaverunt."

"The Trojans sailed with their gods of swine, Laribus et Pentabius, to the town of Troy."
Would it be they "sailed with their swine and their gods"?

Phoenetical spelling will have to do.

No pigs in there - 'suis' is possessive pronoun - 'their' in this case. Also, they sailed DE (from) Troy.

The Trojans, with their gods, Lares and Penates, sailed from the town of Troy.
