At Iugurtha, contra spem nuntio accepto, quippe quoi Romae omnia venire in animo haeserat, filium et cum eo duos familiaris ad senatum legatos mittit eisque, uti illis quos Hiempsale interfecto miserat, praecipit omnis mortalis pecunia adgrediantur.
When Jugurtha heard this unexpected news (for he had clung to the conviction that everything at Rome was for sale) he sent his son together with two close friends as envoys to the senate, and he gave to them the same directions as he had to those whom he had sent after murdering Hiempsal, namely, to go on the offensive with money against every mortal.
