Capuae nocte sol visus. in agro Stellati fulgure vervecum de grege pars exanimata. Terracinae pueri trigemini nati. Formiis duo soles interdiu visi. caelum arsit. †Concii homo ex speculo acie orta combustus. Gabiis lacte pluit. fulmine pleraque decussa in Palatio. in templum Victoriae cygnus inlapsus per manus capientium effugit. Priverni puella sine manu nata. in Cephallenia tuba in caelo cantare visa. terra pluit. procellosa tempestate tecta diruta stragesque agrorum facta. crebro fulminavit. nocte species solis Pisauri adfulsit. Caere porcus humanis manibus et pedibus natus, et pueri quadrupedes et quadrumanes nati. ad forum Aesi bovem flamma ex ipsius ore nata non laesit. At Capua the sun was seen at night. In the territory of Stellate part of a flock of wethers was killed by lightning. At Terracina triplet boys were born. At Formiae two suns were seen during the day. The sky blazed with fire. At †Concia a man was burnt alive by a beam which was generated from a spy glass. At Gabiae it rained milk. On the Palatium many places were shaken by lightning. In the Temple of Victory a swan slipped through the hands of its captors and escaped. At Privernum a girl was born without a hand. In Cephallenia a trumpet seemed to sound in the sky. A tempestuous storm destroyed buildings and created carnage on the land. It thundered frequently. At night at Pisaurum an image of the sun shone forth. At Caere a pig was born with human hands and feet, and boys with four-feet and four-hands. In the forum of Aesum flames which came from its very mouth did not harm a bull.
