The entry from the Sibelline scrolls as read (copied) by Aquillus

In the year DCCCX ab urbe condita in the time of fools, a fool shall rule over the corrupt city. The pattern shall repeat, the waiting vengeance of Carthage shall test his prison. The sign shall be the King of gods impaling himself with his own anger. The seven ancient guardians of the seven hills shall be desecrated, polluted by fertile blood rendered blind by horror. The great seal shall be broken, the eternal city stripped to the hunger of the eater of children. From darkness he shall rise, hidden by the bright metal, to consume those who escaped Fidenae. A thousand thousand will shriek in his flames unless the one who is many is crushed by the vengeance of Charun at the place of the Standing Bull where the fool will sate his lusts. All shall be burned. When light is darkness, Kronos is free.
