Id ea gratia facilius proniusque fuit, quod Bocchus initio huiusce belli legatos Romam miserat foedus et amicitiam petitum; quam rem opportunissumam incepto bello pauci inpediverant caeci avaritia, quis omnia honesta atque inhonesta vendere mos erat.
This was an easier and more straightforward matter because at the beginning of this very war Bocchus had sent envoys to Rome to request a treaty of friendship; but this arrangement, so advantageous for the war which was already under way, had been thwarted by a few men, blinded by greed, whose habit it was to traffic in everything, honorable and dishonorable.
