M. Ciceroni mors imminens auspicio praedicta est: cum enim in villa Caietana esset, corvus in conspectu eius horologii ferrum loco motum excussit, et protinus ad ipsum tetendit, ac laciniam togae eo usque morsu tenuit donec servus milites ad eum occidendum venisse nuntiaret.
Imminent death was foretold to M. Cicero by auspice. He was in his villa at Caieta when a raven dislodged the iron pin from a sundial before his eyes and shook it off, then made right for him and bit the fringe of his gown, holding on till a slave announced that soldiers had come to kill him.
