De patria mea vero, quod eam sitam Numidiae et Gaetuliae in ipso confinio meis scriptis ostendistis, quibus memet professus sum cum Lolliano Avito clarissimo viro praesente publice dissererem, Seminumidam et Semigaetulum, non video quid mihi sit in ea re pudendum, haud magis quam Cyro maiori, quod genere mixto fuit Semimedus ac Semipersa.
Now as for my native city: it lies on the very border of Numidia and Gaetulia, as you showed from a work of mine, a speech delivered in public before the right honorable Lollianus Avitus, in which I called myself half Numidian and half Gaetulian. Well, I do not see what I have to regret about that, any more than the elder Cyrus had to regret that he was of mixed birth, half Median and half Persian.
