Vagenses, ubi animum advortere ad se vorsum exercitum pergere, primo, uti erat res, Metellum esse rati portas clausere; deinde, ubi neque agros vastari et eos qui primi aderant Numidas equites vident, rursum Iugurtham arbitrati cum magno gaudio obvii procedunt.
When the people of Vaga perceived that an army was making its way toward them, at first they closed their gates, thinking that it was Metellus, as in reality it was. Later, seeing that their fields were not being laid waste and that the horsemen who were the first to come into view were Numidians, they thought it was Jugurtha instead and went out to meet him with great jubilation.
