Text Translation
Reate mulus cum quinque pedibus natus. Romae in Graecostasi lacte pluit. lupus et canis Hostiae pugnantes fulmine exanimati. grex ovium in Apulia fulmine exanimati. praetor populi Romani uno ictu fulmine exanimatus. Terracinae sereno navis velum in aqua deiectum; et impensas omnis, quae ibi erant, ignis absumpsit. Publius Crassus adversus Aristonicum dimicans occisus. Apollinis simulacrum lacrimavit per quatriduum. vates portenderunt Graeciae fore exitium, unde deductum esset. sacrificatum tum a Romanis donaque in templo posita. Phrygia recepta Asia Attali testamento legata Romanis. Antiocho regi Syriae ingenti exercitu dimicanti hirundines in tabernaculo nidum fecerunt. quo prodigio neglecto proelium commisit et a Parthis occisus est. At Reate a mule was born with five feet. At Rome in the Graecostasis it rained milk. At Hostia a wolf and a dog were killed by lightning while fighting. A flock of shep in Apulia were killed by lightning. A praetor of the Roman people was killed by one blow from lightning. At Terracina on a tranquil day the sail of ship was thrown down into the water, and fire consumed all the goods which were there. Publius Crassus was killed while fighting against Aristonicus. The statue of Apollo cried for four days. The prophets portended that there woud be an end to Greece from where the statue had been brought. Then there was a sacrifice by the Romans and gifts deposited in the temple. When Phrygia had been recovered Asia was bequeathed to the Romans by the will of Attalus. When Antiochus kig of Syria was fighting with a vast army swallows made a nest in his tent. After ignoring this prodigy battle commenced and he was killed by the Parthians.
