Latine · Mayhoff 1906

Quaedam vero terrae ad ingressus tremunt, sicut in Gabiensi agro non procul urbe Roma iugera ferme ducenta equitantium cursu; similiter in Reatino.

English · Bostock & Riley 1855–57

There are certain lands which shake when any one passes over them; as in the territory of the Gabii, not far from the city of Rome, there are about 200 acres which shake when cavalry passes over it: the same thing takes place at Reate.
