NUMIDIAN AFFAIRS After Juixurtha had delivered up to circumstances. Metellus certain Tliracian and Ligurian deserters, the latter cut off the hands of some, and others he buried in the earth up to their stomachs, and after transfixing them with arrows and darts set fire to

them while they were

still alive.

From "The Embassies**

When Marius arrived at Cirta messengers came to 107 him from Bocchus asking that he would send somebody to hold a conference with him. He accordingly sent Aulus Manlius, his lieutenant, and Cornelius To them Bocchus said that he Sulla, his quaestor. fought against the Romans on account of the acts of Marius, who had taken from him the territory which he himself had taken from Jugurtha. To this complaint

of

Bocchus,

Romans had taken

this

Manlius

replied that the

territory from

Syphax by

right of arms, and had made a present of it to Masinissa, and that such gifts were made by the Romans to be kept by those who received them during the pleasure of the Senate and people of Rome. He added that they had not changed their minds without reason, for that Masinissa was dead

and that Jugurtha, by murdering his grandchildren, had become an enemy of the Romans. " It is not therefore right," he said, " that an enemy should keep the gift that we made to a friend, nor should you think that you can take from Jugurtha property that belongs to the Romans." Tliese were the words of Manlius concerning the territory in question.
