nite and Perilous Character of the Sertorian War 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.] 35. V. IX. Passive Resistance of Caesar 36. V. X. The Armies at Pharsalus 37. V. IV. And Brought Back by Gabinius 38. V. X. Caesar's Fleet and Army in Illyricum Destroyed 39. V. IV. Aggregate Results 40. V. IV. Ptolemaeus in Egypt Recognized, but Expelled by His Subjects 41. V. IV. Cyprus Annexed 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. 43. V. IV. Robber-Chiefs 44. V. IV. Robber-Chiefs 45. V. X. Caesar's Fleet and Army in Illyricum Destroyed 46. V. VIII. And in the Courts 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 in
