Litterae Adherbalis in senatu recitatae, quarum sententia haec fuit: Non mea culpa saepe ad vos oratum mitto, patres conscripti, sed vis Iugurthae subigit, quem tanta lubido extinguendi me invasit ut neque vos neque deos inmortalis in animo habeat, sanguinem meum quam omnia malit.
and a letter of his was read in the senate, of which the substance was as follows: Through no fault of my own, Members of the Senate, do I often send envoys to make an appeal to you, but I am compelled to do so by the violence of Jugurtha, who has been seized by such a desire to destroy me that he keeps in mind neither you nor the immortal gods, but above everything thirsts for my blood.
