Text Translation
Sertorio in Hispania exercitum ducenti tale prodigium est factum: scuta equitum parte exteriore iaculaque et pectora equorum cruenta visa. quod prosperum sibi interpretatus est Sertorius, quia exteriora hostili sanguine maculari solent. continua ei proelia cum successu fuerunt. When Sertorius was leading his army in Spain, a prodigy of this sort happened: The outer part of the cavalry’s shields, their javelins and the chests of the horses seemed bloody. Sertorius interpreted this as good for himself, because the outside parts are usually spotted with the blood of the enemy. His continuous battles met with success.
