galloped off “holding their hands before their eyes” (Plutarch), collapses of itself; for it has point only on the supposition that the Pompeian cavalry had consisted principally of the young nobility of Rome, the “graceful dancers”; and this was not the case (p. 224).  At the most it may be, that the wit of the camp gave to that simple and judicious military order this very irrational but certainly comic turn.

34. [I may here state once for all that in this and other passages, where Dr. Mommsen appears incidentally to express views of religion or philosophy with which I can scarcely be supposed to agree, I have not thought it right—­as is, I believe, sometimes done in similar cases—­to omit or modify any portion of what he has written.  The reader must judge for himself as to the truth or value of such assertions as those given in the text.—­Tr.]

42.  The loss of the lighthouse-island must have fallen out, where there is now a chasm (B.  A. 12), for the island was in fact at first in Caesar’s power (B.  C. iii. 12; B. A. 8).  The mole, must have been constantly in the power of the enemy, for Caesar held intercourse with the island only by ships.

47.  Much obscurity rests on the shape assumed by the states in northwestern Africa during this period.  After the Jugurthine war Bocchus king of Mauretania ruled probably from the western sea to the port of Saldae, in what is now Morocco and Algiers (iv.  IV.  Reorganization of Numidia); the princes of Tingis (Tangiers)—­probably from the outset different from the Mauretanian sovereigns—­who occur even earlier (Plut.  Serf. 9), and to whom it may be conjectured that Sallust’s Leptasta (Hist. ii. 31 Kritz) and Cicero’s Mastanesosus (In Vat. 5, 12) belong, may have been independent within certain limits or may have held from him as feudatories; just as Syphax already ruled over many chieftains of tribes (Appian, Pun. 10), and about this time in the neighbouring Numidia Cirta was possessed, probably however under Juba’s supremacy, by the prince Massinissa (Appian, B. C. iv. 54).  About 672 we find in Bocchus’ stead a king called Bocut or Bogud (iv. 92; Orosius, v. 21, 14), the son of Bocchus.  From 705 the kingdom appears divided between king Bogud who possesses the western, and king Bocchus who possesses the eastern half, and to this the later partition of Mauretania into Bogud’s kingdom or the state of Tingis and Bocchus’ kingdom or the state of Iol (Caesarea) refers (Plin.  H. N. v. 2, 19; comp.  Bell.  Afric. 23).
