The army of
Deiotarus the king, both father and son, is very numerous; and equipped in our
fashion. Moreover, in the son there is the greatest hope, the greatest vigor of
genius and a good disposition, and the most eminent valor. Why need I speak of
the father? whose good-will toward the Roman people is coeval with his life; who
has not only been the ally of our commanders in their wars, but has also served
himself as the general of his own troops. What great things have Sulla, and
Murena, and Servilius, and Lucullus said of that man; what complimentary, what
honorable and dignified mention have they often made of him in the senate!
