Ceterum falsa opinatio nescio an praecipuam iniuriam Lartis Tolumnii, Veientium regis, penatibus intulerit: nam cum in tesserarum prospero iactu per iocum collusori dixisset occide, et forte Romanorum legati intervenissent, satellites eius, errore vocis impulsi, interficiendo legatos lusum ad imperium transtulerunt.
Most remarkable perhaps was the injury which a mistaken opinion brought upon the household gods of Lars Tolumnius, king of Veii. After a lucky throw of the dice he said in jest to the other player, Kill. By chance Roman envoys arrived at that moment and his henchmen, mistaking his word, killed the same, changing a joke into an order.
