At Cassius praetor, perlata rogatione a C. Memmio ac perculsa omni nobilitate, ad Iugurtham proficiscitur eique timido et ex conscientia diffidenti rebus suis persuadet, quoniam se populo Romano dedisset, ne vim quam misericordiam eius experiri mallet
But after Gaius Memmius had enacted his proposal and all the nobility was demoralized, the praetor Cassius set out on his mission to Jugurtha, and he persuaded the king, who was fearful and despairing of his prospects because of his guilty conscience, that since he had surrendered to the Roman people, he should choose to put their mercy to the test rather than their compulsion.
