fax ardens Tarquiniis late visa subito lapsu cadens. sub occasu solis orbis clipei similis ab occidente ad orientem visus perferri. in Piceno terrae motu domicilia ruinis prostrata, quaedam convulsa sede sua inclinata manserunt. fremitus armorum ex inferno auditus. quadrigae auratae in foro a pedibus sudaverunt. fugitivi in Sicilia proeliis trucidati. At Tarquinii a blazing torch was seen far and wide and fell suddenly dropping. Around the setting of the sun an orb similar to a shield seemed to be borne across [the sky] from the west to the east. In Picenum houses were reduced to ruins by an earth tremor, after their foundations had been destroyed some remained in their own devastated/sunken?? state. The cries of armies was heard from the depths of the earth. A gilded four horsed chariot in the forum perspired from its feet. The runaway slaves in Sicily were slaughtered in battle.
