Acta Publica Flaminis Portunalis

Idibus Novembribus (Nov. 13 2761), C. Petronius Dexter, the flamen Portunalis, as from the gens Petronia, says a prayer to the goddess Feronia.

In viridi luco mater Feronia gaudes,

Haec est fausta dies tua, sunt Idusque Novembres,

Et venti folia autumnales aurea deflant,

Clarae facta rubent et in orbem cornua Phoebes,

Sed viridi in luco mater Feronia gaudes.

Servus inivit, qui nunc de luco liber exit.

Fausta Novae Romae ut sis gensque Petronia poscit.

Fata Novae Romae clarissima Diva tuere !

In Campo Martis semper, Feronia, sedes.

Pr. Id. Dec. MMDCCLXI (12/12/2761) as the river Tiber Rome was flooding, C. Petronius Dexter, flamen Portunalis, says a public prayer:

O Iane pater, O Portune pater,

ambo propitii Romae estote !

Tiberis undas parcitote !

Iovis imbres placate.

Caelum serenum denuo siet.

Roma sub caelo sereno siet.

O Iane pater, O Jupiter Optime Maxime,

O Portune pater, Propitii Romae estote !
