pestilentia fameque ita laboratum, ut ex Sibyllinis populus circa compita sacellaque operaturus sederit. in aede Penatium valvae nocte sua sponte adapertae, et lupi Esquiliis et in colle Quirinali meridie apparuerunt exagitatique fuerunt. urbe lustrata nihil triste accidit. A pestilence and famine was so draining that, in accordance with the Sibylline Books, the people sat down around the cross-roads and shrines to observe religious rites. In the temple of the Penates at night the doors opened of their own accord, and wolves appeared on the Esquiline and on the Quirinal hill at midday and were driven off. After the city had been lustrated nothing bad occurred.
