Digitized by VjOOQ iC TO 105.] CHAPTER XXVIII. 383 Adherbal fled, and levied troops to defend himself, bat as Jugurtha proclaimed him an enemy, he presented himself in Rome, and laid his wrongs before the Senate.
JEmilias Scaurus espoused his cause warmly, and would have had Jugurtha deprived of all his claims. But this artful Prince had already many friends in the Republic, and he plied them, and all who were accessible, so largely with bribes, that the Senate aflected to require more in- form...ation before they could decide, and sent two commis- sioners into Africa to make a new division of Micipsa's kingdom. With Lucius Opimius at their head, they were all gained over by bribes, and not only justified Jugurtha's iniquity, but divided the lands according to his wishes.
They allotted to him the strongest' cities and most fertile vales : but to his cousin whatever was untenable or barren.
