Ergo hoc auspicium divini quicquam
habere potest, quod tam sit coactum et expressum?
Quo antiquissumos augures non esse usos argumento
est, quod decretum collegii vetus habemus omnem
avem tripudium facere posse. Tum igitur esset auspicium (si modo esset ei liberum) se ostendisse; tum
avis illa videri posset interpres et satelles Iovis; nunc
vero inclusa in cavea et fame enecta si in offam pultis
invadit, et si aliquid ex eius ore cecidit, hoc tu auspicium aut hoc modo Romulum auspicari solitum putas?
De Divinatione. M. Tullius Cicero. C. F. W. Müller. Leipzig. Teubner. 1915.
