32. Ab externis bellis quietus annus fuit,1 quietior insequens P. Curiatio2 et Sex. quinctilio consulibus perpetuo silentio tribunorum, quod primo legatorum qui Athenas ierant legumque peregrinarum exspectatio praebuit, [2?] dein duo simul mala ingentia exorta, fames pestilentiaque, foeda homini, foeda pecori. vastati agri sunt, urbs adsiduis exhausta funeribus; multae et clarae lugubres domus. [3] flamen Quirinalis Ser. Cornelius mortuus, augur C. Horatius Pulvillus;3 in cuius locum C. Veturium eo cupidius quia damnatus a plebe erat, augures legere. mortuus consul Quinctilius, quattuor tribuni plebi. [4] multiplici clade foedatus annus; ab hoste otium fuit.
