Indica mihi si nosti omnia. Sciebas quòd nasciturus esses, & numerum dierū tuorum noueras? 10 B XXVIII. A spiciens curuum ficta sub imagine coelum euentura aliis dicere fata soles. Dic mihi, si bonus es uenturæ fortis aruspex, ad me quando tibi fata uenire dabunt? Inspice præsentē quà fert mea dextera sphærā, te melius fati præmonet illa tui.
