Sed ubi in Africam venit, exercitus ei traditur a Sp. Albino proconsule iners, inbellis, neque periculi neque laboris patiens, lingua quam manu promptior, praedator ex sociis et ipse praeda hostium, sine imperio et modestia habitus
But when Metellus reached Africa, the proconsul Spurius Albinus handed over to him an army that was idle, unfit for war, and incapable of facing either danger or hardship, readier of tongue than of hand, a plunderer of our allies and itself a prey to the enemy, maintained without discipline and restraint.
