in provinciam proficiscens Postumius consul cum immolaret, in plurimis victimis caput in iocinere non invenit; profectusque post diem septimum aeger Romam relatus expiravit. Compsae arma in caelo volare visa. fulmine pleraque decussa. a Gallis et a Lusitanis Romani per arma graviter vexati. As he was setting out for his province the consul Postumius when he made a sacrifice did not find the head of the liver in several victims. And on the seventh day after he set out it was relayed to Rome he passed away through sickness. At Compsa weapons were seen flying in the sky. Many places were struck by lightning.
