Excerpt from Librorum De Disciplina Augurali Ante Augusti Mortem Scriptorum Reliquiae, Vol. 1: Dissertatio Inauguralis Quam Ad Summos in Philosophia Honores Ab Amplissimo Philosophorum Ordine Lipsiensi, Rite Impetrandos
Romanis hominibus et sine dubio etiam ceteris Italis moris fuit sinistras partes auspicatiores existimare Talibus exemplis opinor satis comprobatur non a Graecis disciplinam esse deshmptam sed potins ex eodem fonte atque Graecorum disciplinam ?uxisse. Namque quod Servius tradit missos esse a Marsya rage Phrygum qui Italos disciplinam augu randi edocerent, Graecorum commenticiis fabellis nemo est quin attribuat. Florebat autem inter Italos quondam apud Umbros augurandi disciplina de quo et tabularum Iguvi narum reliquiis et Ciceronis 3) testimonio constat. Beindo Sabinos commemoro quorum Marsi nimia superstitione derisui orant Romanis hominibus Apud Sabinos quidem etiam accuratiora de avium observandarum disciplina praecepta fuisse verisimile est. Namque commemorantur a Varrone dc ling. Lat. V. 85. Aves quaedam Titiae quas a sodalibus Titiis in certis auguriis observatas esse scribit. Titiae autem aves certo separari nequeunt a tribu illa Titiensi quam ex Sabinis oriundam esse plerique consentiunt.
