FOOTNOTES: [1] So astonished was Jugur'tha at the mercenary disposition discovered by the Romans, that he is said to have exclaimed, on leaving the city, "Oh, Rome! thou wouldst thyself be sold, could a chapman be found to purchase thee." [2] It has been said with great truth, that "the wicked have no friends." Jugur'tha experienced this.

Bomil'car, who professed the warmest attachment to Jugur'tha, was gained over by the proconsul Metel'lus to persuade his master, that submission to the Romans was absolutely necessary.

Jugur'tha accordingly sent an embassy to the proconsul, professing his readiness to submit to any terms.
