Nam Iugurtha, ut erat inpigro atque acri ingenio, ubi naturam P. Scipionis, qui tum Romanis imperator erat, et morem hostium cognovit, multo labore multaque cura, praeterea modestissume parendo et saepe obviam eundo periculis in tantam claritudinem brevi pervenerat, ut nostris vehementer carus, Numantinis maxumo terrori esset
Jugurtha was of an active and keen disposition, and after he had become acquainted with the character of Publius Scipio, the then commander of the Romans, and the ways of the enemy, he had shortly acquired (through hard work and studious application, and also by his strict obedience and by often courting dangers) such a glorious reputation that he was enormously popular with our soldiers and a source of great dread to the Numantines.
