62. 224).

[827] Cic. _Brut_. 62. 224 Is ... equestrem ordinem beneficio legis devinxerat. Cf. _pro Scauro_ 1. 2. But the law of Glaucia was a _lex repetundarum_ (Ascon. _in Scaurian_. p. 21; Val. Max. viii. 1. 8; cf.

notes 4 and 5), not a _lex judiciaria_.

[828] Cic. _in Verr_. i. 9. 26.

[829] Cic. _pro Rab. Post_. 4. 8. The granting of the _civitas_ to Latins, as a reward for successful prosecution (Cic. _pro Balbo_ 24.

54), was not an innovation due to Glaucia. It appears already in the _lex Acilia_.

[833] Plut. _Quaest. Rom_. 83. The ma.n.u.script reading is [Greek: _barbarou tinos hippikou therapon_]. I have adopted Ihne's suggestion of _Barrou_, which he supports by a reference to Porphyrio _ad Hor.

Sat_. 1. 6. 30--Hic Barrus vilisimmae libidinosaeque admodum vitae fuit, adeo ut Aemiliam virginem Vestae incesta.s.se dictus sit.

[845] Plut. l.c.

[846] Obsequens 99 (37) (111 B.C.) Maxima pars urbis exusta c.u.m aede Matris Magnae; lacte per triduum pluit, hostiisque expiatum majoribus, Jugurthinum bellum exortum. The war had been determined on the year before.

[861] Boissiere (op. cit. p. 101) cites an interesting description of the Kabyle from _Le capitaine Rinn_. In it occur the following words:--La guerre pour lui (le Kabyle) est une affaire de devoir, de necessite, de point d'honneur ou de vengeance; ce n'est jamais ni un plaisir, ni une distraction, ni meme un etat normal; il ne la fait qu'apres prevenu son ennemi, et, dans le combat ou apres la victoire, il n'a pas de cruaute inutile.

[866] Livy says (xxix. 29) that this was the admitted order of succession (ita mos apud Numidas est). The brother of a late king was probably considered to be the most capable successor. An immature son would be pa.s.sed over. Cf. Biereye _Res Numidarum et Maurorum_ p. 18.
