Text Translation
Tiberius Gracchus * * legibus ferendis occisus. proditum est memoria, Tiberium Gracchum, quo die periit, tristia neglexisse omina, cum domi et in Capitolio sacrificanti dira portenderentur, domoque exiens sinistro ad limen offenso pede decusserit pollicem et corvi fragmentum tegulae ante pedes eius proiecerint ex stillicidio. in lacu Romano lacte rivi manarunt. Lunae terra quattuor iugerum spatio in profundum abiit et mox de caverna lacum reddidit. Ardeae terra pluit. Minturnis lupus vigilem laniavit et inter tumultum effugit. Romae bubo et alia avis ignota visa. in aede Iunonis Reginae clausis per biduum valvis infantis vox audita. scuta novo sanguine maculata. puella quadrupes nata. in agro Ferentino androgynus natus et in flumen deiectus. Tiberius Gracchus was killed * * when his laws were being carried. It is handed down by memory, that Tiberius Gracchus, on the day he died, took no notice of bad omens. When he was making a sacrifice at home and on the Capitol dire things were portended. And as he was going out of his home he struck his left foot against the threshhold and shattered his big toe and ravens dropped a fragment of tile from the guttering in front of his feet. In the Roman lake the rivers ran with milk. At Luna the land for four acres size disappeared into an abyss and then a lake returned from the cavern. At Ardea it rained earth. At Minturnae a wolf lacerated a guard and escaped amid the confusion. At Rome an owl and another unknown bird was seen. In the temple of Juno Regina for two days the voice of a baby was heard through the closed doors. A shield was spotted with fresh blood. A girl with four limbs was born. In the territory of Ferentina a hermaphrodite was born and thrown into the river.
