Text Translation
Amiterni cum ex ancilla puer nasceretur, ave dixit. in agro Perusino et Romae locis aliquot lacte pluit. inter multa fulmine icta Atellis digiti hominis quattuor tamquam ferro praecisi. argentum signatum afflatu fulminis diffluxit. in agro Trebulano mulier nupta civi Romano fulmine icta nec exanimata. fremitus caelestis auditus et pila caelo cadere visa. sanguine pluit. Romae interdiu fax sublime volans conspecta. in aede Larum flamma a fastigio ad summum columen penetravit innoxia. per Caepionem consulem senatorum et equitum iudicia communicata. cetera in pace fuerunt. At Amiternum when a boy was born of a slave-girl, he said ‘hello’. In the territory of Perusino and in some places at Rome it rained milk. At Atellae among many places struck by lightning four fingers of a man were sliced off as though with a sword. Silver coinage flowed away after a flash of lightning. In the territory of Trebulanum a woman married to a Roman citizen was struck by a thunderbolt and not killed. A celestial groan was heard and javelins seemed to fall from the sky. It rained blood. At Rome a torch was seen flying through the heavens for a long time. In the temple of the Lares a flame pierced through from the akroterion to the top of a column harmlessly. Because of the consul Caepio the jury courts were shared between the senators and the equites. The rest was at peace.
