In der romer land lxxiii iar / vor Christi gepurt hat man ein guldene kugel gesehen am himel die dan auff die erdt herab ist kumen vnnd ... gwalczt / vnnd wieder auff in die luefft geflogen / gegen auff gang der sonnen / das sie mit irer grosse die sonnen bedeckt hatt / darnach gefolget der groſs romer krig.

"In the land of the Romans in the year 73 B.C., a golden ball was seen in the sky, which then came down to earth and rolled around and flew back up into the air again, in the direction of the rising sun, so that its great size covered up the sun completely. This was followed by the great Roman war."
