Igitur bello Iugurthino pleraque ex Punicis oppida et finis Carthaginiensium, quos novissume habuerant, populus Romanus per magistratus administrabat; Gaetulorum magna pars et Numidae usque ad flumen Muluccham sub Iugurtha erant; Mauris omnibus rex Bocchus imperitabat, praeter nomen cetera ignarus populi Romani itemque nobis neque bello neque pace antea cognitus.
Now at the time of the war with Jugurtha, the Roman people were governing through their officials most of the Punic towns, as well as the territory which until very recently had belonged to the Carthaginians. A large number of the Gaetulians, and the Numidians as far as the river Muluccha, were subject to Jugurtha. All the Moors were under the control of King Bocchus, who knew nothing of the Romans, except for their name, and was likewise a man unknown to us before that time either in peace or in war.
