Is postquam magnitudine facinoris perculsus ad tempus non venit metusque rem inpediebat, Bomilcar simul cupidus incepta patrandi et timore soci anxius ne omisso vetere consilio novom quaereret, litteras ad eum per homines fidelis mittit, in quis mollitiam socordiamque viri accusare, testari deos per quos iuravisset, monere ne praemia Metelli in pestem convorteret.
When, overcome by anxiety at the enormity of the proposed crime, he did not appear at the appointed hour and his dread thwarted their enterprise, Bomilcar was eager to carry out his design and at the same time disconcerted by his accomplices fear in case he might abandon their former plan and look for a new one. Therefore, by way of trusted individuals he sent him a letter in which he found fault with Nabdalsas weakness and cowardice, called to witness the gods by whom he had sworn, and warned him against the danger of having the rewards offered by Metellus turn into ruin.
