Matho could distinguish the captains, soldiers, heralds, and even the serving-men, who were mounted on asses in the rear.

But instead of maintaining his position in order to cover the foot-soldiers, Narr' Havas turned abruptly to the right, as though he wished himself to be crushed by Hamilcar.
His horsemen outstripped the elephants, which were slackening their speed; and all the horses, stretching out their unbridled heads, galloped at so furious a rate that their bellies seemed to graze the earth.

Then suddenly Narr' Havas went resolutely up to a sentry.

He threw away his sword, lance, and javelins, and disappeared among the Carthaginians.
The king of the Numidians reached Hamilcar's tent, and pointing to his men, who were standing still at a distance, he said: "Barca! I bring them to you.

They are yours." Then he prostrated himself in token of bondage, and to prove his fidelity recalled all his conduct from the beginning of the war.
First, he had prevented the siege of Carthage and the massacre of the captives; then he had taken no advantage of the victory over Hanno after the defeat at Utica.
