[861] Boissiere (op. cit. p. 101) cites an interesting description of the Kabyle from _Le capitaine Rinn_. In it occur the following words:--La guerre pour lui (le Kabyle) est une affaire de devoir, de necessite, de point d'honneur ou de vengeance; ce n'est jamais ni un plaisir, ni une distraction, ni meme un etat normal; il ne la fait qu'apres prevenu son ennemi, et, dans le combat ou apres la victoire, il n'a pas de cruaute inutile.

[866] Livy says (xxix. 29) that this was the admitted order of succession (ita mos apud Numidas est). The brother of a late king was probably considered to be the most capable successor. An immature son would be pa.s.sed over. Cf. Biereye _Res Numidarum et Maurorum_ p. 18.
