words quoted by Quintilian do not refer, as Cortius erroneously supposes, to this passage, but to some part of Sallust's works that is now lost. [125] XXXV. Should be disturbed--_Movere_ is the reading of Cortius; _moveri_ that of most other editors, in conformity with most of the MSS. and early editions. [126] The times at which he resorted to particular places--_Loca atque tempora cuncta._ "All his places and times." There can be no doubt that the sense is what I have given in the text. [127] In accordance with the law of nations, etc.--As the public faith had been pledged to Jugurtha for his security, his retinue was on the same footing as that of embassadors, the persons of whose attendants are considered as inviolable as their own, as long as they commit no offense against the laws of the country in which they are resident. If any such offense is committed by an attendant of an embassador, an application is usually made by the government to the embassador to deliver him up for trial. Bomilcar seems to have been apprehended without any application having been made to Jugurtha; as, in our own country, the Portuguese embassador's brother, who was one of his retinue, was apprehended and executed for a murder, by Oliver Cromwell. See, on this point, Grotius De Jure Bell, et Pac., xviii, 8; Vattel, iv. 9; Burlamaqui on Politic Law, part iv. ch. 15. Jugurtha, says Vattel, should have given up Bomilcar; but such was not Jugurtha's object. [128] At the commencement of the proceedings--_In priori actione._ That is, when Bomilcar was apprehended and charged with the murder. [129] His other subjects would be deterred from obeying him--_Reliquos popularis metus invaderet parendi sibi._ "Fear of obeying him should take possession of his other subjects." [130] That it was a venal city, etc.--_Urbem venalem,_ etc. I consider, with Cortias, that this is the proper way of taking these words. Some would render them _O venal city,_ etc., because Livy, Epit. lxiv., has _O urbem venalem,_ but this seems to require that the verb should be in the second person; and it is probable that in Livy we should either eject the O or read _inveneris._ Florus, iii. 1, gives the words in the same way as Sallust. [131] XXXVI. As propraetor--_Pro praetore._ With the power of lieutenant-general. [132] XXXVII. Throughout the year--_Totius anni._ That is, all that remained of the year.
