Quotation In prouincia Gallecia prodigiorum uidentur signa diuersa. VI non. Mar. pullorum cantu ab occasu solis luna in sanguinem plena conuertitur. Idem dies sexta feria fuit. Antiochia maior Isauriae inobaudiens monitis salutaribus terra dehiscente demergitur, [episcopo] tantumipsius ciuitatis cum aliquantis qui eum obaudientes timori domini sunt secuti de interitu liberatis, turrium etiam solis cacuminibus extantibus super terram. Gaisericus Valentiniani relictam Constantinopolim remittit. Filiae ipsius uns Gentoni Gaiserici filio, alia Olybrio senatori urbis Romae iure matrimonii copulantur. Mense Iunio in Gallicia coruscatione iullae exuste [et] greges ouium concremati. Carnes concise pluuiae de caelo mixtae cadunt. Duo aduliscentes carne in inuicem soledati adhaerentes sunt mortui. In conuentu Bracarense duorum natorum portentum uisum; quatuor Legione simile memorantur.
Translation (209) In the province of Gallaecia various portentous manifestations were seen. In the 500th [year of the Spanish] aera on 2 March the cocks crowed at sunset and the full moon turned to blood. That day was a Friday. (210) Greater Antioch in Isauria, paying no heed to the warnings for its salvation, was swallowed up when the earth split open, and all that remained above the ground was the tops of the tower: only the bishop of this city was saved from death, along with a number of people who followed him in obedience to the fear of the Lord. (211) Gaiseric sent Valentinian's widow back to Constantinople. His daughters were joined in matrimony, one to Gento, a son of Gaiseric, the other to Olybrius, a senator from the city of Rome. (213) In Gallaecia in June, lightning set fire to villas and burned flocks of sheep. Pieces fo flesh fell from heaven mixed with rain. Two young men who were fastened and attached to one another by their flesh died. In the conventus of Bracara, a portent involving two children was seen; likewise one of four was reported at Legio.
