lupus urbem ingressus in domo privata occisus. bubo in Capitolio occisus. fulmine pleraque decussa. signa aurata Iovis cum capite columnaque disiecta. Faesulis sanguine terra manavit. Arretii muliere e naso spicae farris natae, eadem farris grana vomuit. urbe lustrata Ptolomaeus, rex Aegypti, Cyrenis mortuus S. P. Q. Romanum heredem reliquit. When a wolf entered the city it was killed in a private home. An owl was killed on the Capitol. Many places were shattered by lightning. A golden standard belonging to Jupiter was destroyed along with its capitol and column. At Faesulae the earth flowed with blood. At Arretium a spike of corn grew from a woman’s nose and that same corn discharged kernels. After the city was lustrated, Ptolemy, king of Egypt, died at Cyrenae and bequeathed the Senatus Populusque Romanus as his heir.
