Ac primo efficit uti ad se conloquendi gratia occultus veniat, deinde fide data, si Iugurtham vivom aut necatum sibi tradidisset, fore ut illi senatus inpunitatem et sua omnia concederet, facile Numidae persuadet, quom ingenio infido tum metuenti ne, si pax cum Romanis fieret, ipse per condiciones ad supplicium traderetur.
Metellus first arranged to have Bomilcar come to him secretly for a conference; then, after a pledge of good faith had been given that if Bomilcar delivered Jugurtha to Metellus alive or dead, the senate would grant him a pardon and permit him to keep all his own property, Metellus easily won his cooperation both because of Bomilcars faithless nature and because Bomilcar feared that if peace was made with the Romans, under the terms of the agreement he himself would be surrendered for punishment.
