Note the force of the frequentative: occidisset (from occido, not occido), "should die:" ·fore, uti solus, &c. This clause depends on pollicitando. § 145, Obs. 6. 2. Donatum atque laudatum magnifice, "Being loaded with presents and lauded in the highest style:" "publicly," lit., "in presence of the assembly:" "into his tent." 3. Publice quam privatim, "Publicly rather than privately," i. e., by public services rather than by private interest. 4. Neu quibus (for aliquibus) largiri insuesceret, “And that he should not make a practice of giving bribes to individuals." There was doubtless need for this advice; and Scipio probably had seen with displeasure the intimacy between Jugurtha and certain young ambitious Romans of doubtful character. 5. Periculose a paucis, &c. Arrange and supply thus, (id acc. subject of emi) quod esset multorum (§ 108, R. xii.) emi periculose a paucis: in suis (bonis) artibus, "in his virtuous practices:" of his money." suamet pecunia, "by the very means IX.-1.

Morbo atque ætate confectus, "Exhausted with sickness and age:" hujuscemodi verba cum Jugurtha habuisse, “to have spoken with Jugurtha to this effect." Habere seems to be a favorite word with Sallust, and verba habere is sometimes used in the sense of orationem habere. The use of cum with Jugurtha intimates that this was spoken in conversation. X.-1. Parvum, "When a child:" in meum regnum, "into my kingdom,” viz., as one of my heirs. This was not exactly true, for the history, Ch. VII., shows he had far other views, and this was well anderstood by Jugurtha, as is mentioned in the next chapter: quam si (te) genuissem, “than if I had been your father." Most editions after quam insert liberis, making the meaning, "than to my children, if I should have any." This seems to be forced, and gives ground to suspect that liberis is an interpolation: neque ea res falsum me habuit, "nor has that expectation disappointed me,”—habuit fal2. Amicissimos: Amicus is really an adjective, sum = fefellit. and hence is compared as here, though it is commonly used as a noun, -so also inimicus, familiaris, &c. fidelity you owe my kingdom:" 3.

Propinqua alius alio, scil., loco, "one to one place, and another to another," i. e., each to a different abode. § 98, Obs. 11. - 3. In oppido Thermida, &c., In the town of Thermida, happened to occupy a house belonging to him who had been chief lictor (i. e., attendant) of Jugurtha." The lictors went in single file before those whom they attended. The foremost was called primus lictor; the last, as being nearest to his superior, was called proximus lictor. This place was assigned to the principal attendant, or chief of the lictors. Either the custom of the Romans had been adopted by the Numidian kings, or Sallust, accommodating his language to the custom of the Romans, calls the chief attendant proximus lictor. 4. Quem ille (Jugurtha) casu ministrum oblatum, &c., “This tool (of his designs), thrown in his way by chance, he loads with promises :" portarum claves adulterinas, “false keys for the gates of his house.” The true keys had been given to Hiempsal when he took possession of the house, and of course, without keys, persons from without could not get into the house. · 5.

XIV.—1. Uti regni, &c., "To regard as mine, only the administration of the kingdom of Numidia, but that the right and the sovereignty of it was vested in you."

The subject of fuit is the following clause, Jugurtha, &c.: oneri, usui, datives of the end. § 114, R. xix. 5.
