Ceterum facies totius negoti varia, incerta, foeda atque miserabilis: dispersi a suis pars cedere, alii insequi; neque signa neque ordines obseruare; ubi quemque periculum ceperat, ibi resistere ac propulsare; arma tela, equi viri, hostes atque ciues permixti; nihil consilio neque imperio agi, fors omnia regere. Itaque multum diei processerat, cum etiam tum eventus in incerto erat. Denique omnibus labore et aestu languidis Metellus, ubi videt Numidas minus instare, paulatim milites in unum conducit, ordines restituit it cohortis legionarias quattuor aduersum pedites hostium collocat. Eorum magna pars superioribus locis fessa consederat. Simul orare et hortari milites, ne deficerent neu paterentur hostis fugientis vincere: neque illis castra esse neque munimentum ullum, quo cedentes tenderent; in armis omnia sita. Sed ne Iugurtha quidem interea quietus erat: circumire, hortari; renovare proelium et ipse cum delectis temptare omnia; subvenire suis, hostibus dubiis instare, quos firmos cognoverat, eminus pugnando retinere.
