Pari sorte hic quoque omen inlaetabile visum est, apparitoris cuiusdam cadaver extentum, carnificis manu deleti, quem praefectus Salutius praesens, ea re supplicio capitali damnarat, quod intra praestitutum diem alimentorum augmentum exhibere pollicitus, casu impediente frustratus est.
Here also, with like fatality, an unfavourable omen appeared: the outstretched corpse of a certain attendant slain by the hand of an executioner, whom the resident prefect Salutius had condemned to death because, after promising to supply additional provisions within a designated time, he had been prevented by an accident from keeping his word.
