Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Quod plerique appellaverunt soles nocturnes, lumen de caelo noctu visum est C. Caecilio Cn. Papirio consulibus et saepe alias, ut diei species nocte luceret.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

A bright light has been seen proceeding from the heavens in the night time, as was the case in the consulship of C. Cæcilius and Cn. Papirius, and at many other times, so that there has been a kind of daylight in the night.
