Interea Bomilcar, quem elephantis et parti copiarum pedestrium praefectum ab Iugurtha supra diximus, ubi eum Rutilius praetergressus est, paulatim suos in aequom locum deducit ac, dum legatus ad flumen quo praemissus erat festinans pergit, quietus, uti res postulabat, aciem exornat neque remittit quid ubique hostis ageret explorare.
Meanwhile, when Rutilius had passed by, Bomilcar, who had been put in command of the elephants and a part of the infantry by Jugurtha, as I stated above, gradually led his forces down into the plain; and while the Roman deputy commander was hastily making his way to the river, to which he had been sent ahead, Bomilcar quietly dressed his battle line just as the situation demanded, and he did not cease to keep an eye on what the enemy was doing everywhere.
