Eique tandem aruspicinae peritus, Aprunculis Gallus orator, promotus rector postea Narbonensis, nuntiavit eventus, inspectu iecoris (ut aiebat ipse) praedoctus, quod operimento duplici viderat tectum. Cumque ille timeret, ne cupiditati suae congruentia fingerentur, eratque ideo maestus, omen multo praesentius ipse conspexit, quod excessum Constantii dare monstrabat. Eodem enim puncto quo idem obierat in Cilicia, lapso milite qui se insessurum equo dextra manu erexit, humique prostrate, exclamavit ilico audientibus multis, cecidisse qui eum ad culmen extulerat celsum.
