19. prodigia multa foeda et Romae eo anno visa et nuntiata peregre. [2] in area Vulcani et Concordiae sanguine pluvit; et pontifices hastas motas nuntiavere, et Lanuvini1 simulacrum Iunonis Sospitae lacrimasse. [3] pestilentia in agris forisque et conciliabulis et in urbe tanta erat ut Libitina funeribus2 vix sufficeret. [4] his prodigiis cladibusque anxii patres decreverunt ut et consules quibus diis videretur hostiis maioribus sacrificarent, et decemviri libros adirent. [5] eorum decreto supplicatio circa omnia pulvinaria Romae in diem unum indicta est. isdem auctoribus et senatus censuit et consules edixerunt [p. 62] ut per totam Italiam triduum supplicatio et feriae3 essent. [6] pestilentiae tanta vis erat ut, cum propter defectionem Corsorum bellumque ab Iliensibus concitatum in Sardinia octo milia peditum ex sociis Latini nominis placuisset scribi et trecentos equites, quos M. Pinarius praetor secum in Sardiniam traiceret, [7?] tantum hominum demortuum esse, tantum ubique aegrorum consules renuntiaverint ut is numerus effici militum non potuerit. [8] quod deerat militum, sumere a Cn. Baebio proconsule, qui Pisis hibernabat, iussus praetor atque inde in Sardiniam traicere.

[9] L. Duronio praetori, cui provincia Apulia evenerat, adiecta de Bacchanalibus quaestio est, cuius residua quaedam velut semina ex prioribus malis iam priore anno apparuerant; [10] sed magis inchoatae apud L.4 Pupium praetorem quaestiones erant quam ad exitum ullum5 perductae. id persecare novum praetorem, [11] ne serperet iterum latius, patres iusserunt. et legem6 de ambitu consules ex auctoritate senatus ad populum tulerunt.
