[1130] Sall.u.s.t omits all mention of these winter quarters. Such an omission does not prove that he is a bad military historian, but simply that he never meant his sketch to be a military history. But he has perhaps freed himself too completely from the annalistic methods of most Roman historians.

[1132] The Wad Muluja. It is called Muluccha by Sall.u.s.t, [Greek: _Molochath_] by Strabo (xvii. 3, 9). Other names given to it by ancient authorities are Malvane, [Greek: _Maloua_], Malva. See Gobel _Die Westkuste Afrikas im Altertum_ pp. 79, 80.

[1133] Bocchus, however, claimed the territory within which Marius was operating (Sall. _Jug_. 102).

[1150] Sall.u.s.t states later that Cirta was his original aim (Ibid. 102.

1 Pervenit in oppidum Cirtam, quo initio profectus intenderat); but Marius's plans may have been modified by intervening events.

[1151] Vix dec.u.ma parte die reliqua (Ibid. 97. 3).
