Minus miram in homine parum considerato temeritatem Ti. Gracchi grauissimi ciuis tristis exitus et prodigio denuntiatus nec euitatus consilio facit: consul enim cum in Lucanis sacrificaret, angues duae ex occulto prolapsae repente hostiae, quam immolauerat, adeso iocinore in easdem se latebras retulerunt. ob id deinde factum instaurato sacrificio idem prodigii euenit. tertia quoque caesa uictima diligentiusque adseruatis extis neque adlapsus serpentium arceri neque fuga inpediri potuit. quod quamuis aruspices ad salutem imperatoris pertinere dixissent, Gracchus tamen non cauit ne perfidi hospitis sui Flaui insidiis in eum locum deductus, in quo Poenorum dux Mago cum armata manu delituerat, inermis occideretur.
