Note 634 — Chapter V · THE AUSPICES
Reading edition
Fest. 250. 12; 157. 29; cf. Mommsen, Röm. Staatsr. i, 97, n. 1; Valeton, in Mnemos. xviii (1890). 209 f. The reason for the auspication on such occasions is differently stated by the authorities, but the interpretation given by Jordan-Hülsen, Top. d. Stadt Rom, 1. iii. 472 f., that this brook marked the boundary of the city auspices, seems preferable.
