Eo cum delectis equitibus noctu pergit et iam egredientibus Romanis in porta pugnam facit, simul magna voce Siccenses hortatur uti cohortis ab tergo circumveniant; fortunam illis praeclari facinoris casum dare; si id fecerint, postea sese in regno, illos in libertate sine metu aetatem acturos.
To that place Jugurtha hastened by night with select members of his cavalry and engaged the Romans at the gate just as they were coming out; at the same time, in a loud voice he urged the people of Sicca to surround the cohorts in the rear; fortune, he said, was giving them an opportunity for a brilliant exploit; if they performed it, he would thereafter live his life in his kingdom, and they theirs in freedom and without fear.
