Ne filii quidem tui Scipionis Aemiliani, quem in adoptionem dando duarum familiarum ornamentum esse voluisti, maiestati parum honoris tributum est, cum eum adulescentem admodum a Lucullo consule petendi auxilii gratia ex Hispania in Africam missum Carthaginienses et Masinissa rex de pace disceptatorem velut consulem et imperatorem habuerunt.
Honour too was accorded in no grudging fashion to the majesty of your son Scipio Aemilianus, whom you gave in adoption, wishing him to be the ornament of two families. Sent from Spain to Africa when quite a young man by Consul Lucullus to seek aid, the Carthaginians and king Masinissa treated him as their arbitrator of peace as though he had been Consul or commander-in-chief.
