		Syphax was riding up to the hostile squadrons in the hope that either a sense of honour or his own personal danger might check the flight of his men, when his horse was severely wounded and he was thrown, overpowered and made prisoner, and carried off to Laelius.
		He suggested that he should be allowed to go on with the cavalry and the vanquished Syphax to Cirta, which he would be able to surprise amidst the general confusion and alarm; Laelius might follow with the infantry by easy stages.
		After Laelius had sent Syphax and the other prisoners away, he recovered, with Masinissa's aid, the remaining cities in Numidia which were still held by the king's garrisons.

	Syphax and Custis Case
		Custis, of Arlington, gave to his mother, Maria Syphax, on manumitting her, a piece of land of fifteen acres; and he asks that Congress may confirm the title to that piece of ground to his mother and her heirs.

		But Maria Syphax has a possession extending through a period of forty years, founded upon a parole gift from the master who manumitted her, and all that the Government of the United States is asked to do is to release its title acquired by the tax sale, and to confirm her in her just possession.

	Livy's History of Rome
		Syphax was anxious for peace and proposed as conditions that the Romans should evacuate Africa, and the Carthaginians Italy, but he gave Scipio to understand that if the war continued he should not desert his allies.
		Syphax must either say what he had made up his mind to do or, if it was necessary for him to consult Hasdrubal and the Carthaginians, he should do so; the time had come for either a peace settlement or an energetic resumption of hostilities.
		Syphax has been defeated and made prisoner under the auspices of the people of Rome, and this being so, his wife, his kingdom, his territory, his towns with all their inhabitants, whatever in short Syphax possessed, belong now to Rome as the spoils of war.
