Qui ubi primum adolevit, pollens viribus, decora facie, sed multo maxume ingenio validus, non se luxu neque inertiae corrumpendum dedit, sed, uti mos gentis illius est, equitare, iaculari, cursu cum aequalibus certare, et quom omnis gloria anteiret, omnibus tamen carus esse; ad hoc pleraque tempora in venando agere, leonem atque alias feras primus aut in primis ferire; plurumum facere et minumum ipse de se loqui.
As soon as Jugurtha grew up, endowed as he was with physical strength, a handsome appearance, but above all with a vigorous intellect, he did not allow himself to be spoiled by luxury or idleness, but following the custom of that nation, he rode horses, hurled the javelin, contended with those of his same age in footraces, and although he surpassed them all in renown, he nevertheless enjoyed the affection of all. Besides this, he devoted much time to hunting, was usually the first, or among the first, to strike down a lion and other wild beasts, performed numerous accomplishments, but spoke very little of his own exploits.
