Text Translation
in Campania multis locis terra pluit. in Praenestino cruenti ceciderunt imbres. Veienti lana ex arboribus nata. Terracinae in aede Minervae mulieres tres, quae operatae sedebant, fulmine exanimatae. ad lucum Libitinae in statua equestri aenea ex ore et pede aqua manavit diu. Galli Ligures deleti.
comitia cum ambitiosissime fierent et ob hoc senatus in Capitolio haberetur, milvus volans mustelam raptam de cella Iovis in medio consessu patrum misit. sub idem tempus aedes Salutis de caelo tacta. in colle Quirinali sanguis terra manavit. Lanuvii fax in caelo nocte conspecta. fulmine pleraque discussa Cassini et sol per aliquot horas noctis visus. Teani Sidicini puer cum quattuor manibus et totidem pedibus natus. urbe strata pax domi forisque fuit.
In Campania it rained earth in many places. In Praenestine territory showers of blood fell. At Veii wool sprouted from trees. At Tarracina in the temple of Minvera, three women, who were seated working, were killed by lightning. At the grove of Libitina water poured for a long time from the mouth and foot of a bronze equestrian statue. The Ligurian Gauls were destroyed.
There were assemblies that were overly competitive? and because of this the senate was held on the Capitol, a flying kite sent a weasel that had been snatched up from the cella of Jupiter into the middle of the senator’s meeting. Around the same time the temple of Salus was struck from the sky. On the Quirinal hill blood drenched the earth. At Lanuvium a torch was seen in the night sky. Many places at Cassinum were shattered by lightning and the son was seen at night for some hours. At Teanum Sidicinum a boy with four hands the same number of feet was born. After the city had been lustrated there was peace at home and abroad.
