Regium paene totum incendio consumptum sine ullo humanae fraudis aut neglegentiae vestigio. puer ex ancilla quattuor pedibus manibus oculis auribus et duplici obsceno natus. Puteolis in aquis calidis rivi manarunt sanguine. fulmine pleraque deiecta. puer aruspicum iussu crematus cinisque eius in mare deiectus. a Vaccaeis exercitus Romanus caesus. Almost the whole of Regium was consumed by fire without any sign of human complicity or negligence. A boy was born of a slave girl with four feet, hands, eyes, ears and double sexual organs. At Puteoli in the hot springs the rivers ran with blood. Many places were destroyed by lightning. The boy was cremated on the orders of the haruspices and his ashes thrown into the sea. The Roman army was slaughtered by the Vaccaei.
