(advised accepit) that Rutilius was now encamped, and unconcerned [in] mind, (and also simulque) that the shouting (where Jugurtha was engaged ex Jugurthæ prælio) was increased, fearing lest the lieutenant-general, upon understanding the affair, should be any assistance (to his friends in distress laborantibus suis) he extends his forces, which, distrusting the valor of [his] soldiers, (he had drawn up in close array arctè statuerat, by which quo) he might obstruct the passage of the enemy (plur.); and in that mode he proceeds to the camp of Rutilius. (Thou arrogatest tu ducis) now to thyself (that id) [as] merit, which thou then (didst fecisti) [through] necessity (abl.).

(Having examined all things exploratis omnibus) which he thought (mpf.) might be of service, he returns the same [way], not ́carelessly as he went up (plupf.) but trying and (viewing circumspiciens) all [things]. Therefore he hastily goes to Marius, (informs him what he had done acta edocet), advises (that he should make an attack upon the castle castellum tentet) (on ab) that part [in] which he had gone up; and promises [that] he [would be] the leader of the way and of the danger. (Besides ad hoc), (if others failed alii si deliquêre), [their] ancient nobility, the brave deeds of [their] ancestors, the power of [their] relations and (friends affinium), many (dependants clientela), all these [things] are a protection [to them]; all my (dat.) hopes (are placed in myself in memet sita).

He gave up, attribuo: was encamped, (consedisse); fearing, (veritus); lieutenant-general, legātus; upon understanding the affair, (cognita re); he extends his forces, (aciem latiùs porrigit); obstruct, officio: merit, laus; necessity, inopia: the Vaccensians, (Vaccenses); for two days only, biduum modò: noble birth, nobilitas: belongs, (convenire); brave, bonus: hurt not, (nihil officiunt): he thought, duco; might be, (fore); carelessly, temere: power, (opes).
