At this time Prince Gulussa, son of king Masinissa, arrived from Africa as ambassador from his father. Carthaginian ambassadors also came. Gulussa, being first introduced to the senate, gave a detail of the succours sent by his father to the maintenance of the war in Macedon, and promised, that if they wished to order any thing besides, he would execute it in return for the meritorious deeds of the Roman people; and he warned the conscript fathers to be on their guard against the treachery of the Carthaginians. That they

1. Four quaternions are lost from the MS. at this point. The following matters were treated: the outcome of the dispute between Masinissa and Carthage; the choice of magistrates and their provinces for 170 B.C. —the consuls were Aulus Hostilius Mancinus for Macedonia and Aulus Atilius Serranus for Italy (cf. below), while the praetor Lucius Hortensius received the fleet; the mistreatment of Coronea by Licinius (cf. below, iv. 5 and 11, and the Summary); the defeat of the praetor Lucretius at Oreüs (Plutarch, Aemilius Paullus ix); the secession of the Epirotes and Hostilius' narrow escape from them (cf. below, xxi. 4, Polybius XXVII. 13-14, Diodorus XXX. 5); Hostilius' unsuccessful campaign (cf. XLIV. ii. 6 and xxxvi. 10); Macedonian successes against the Dardani and Illyrians (cf. below, xix. 14, the Summary, and Orosius iv. 20); and the flare-up in Spain (cf. the Summary), the account of which comes to a conclusion as the text resumes.
