Finnish
des cornes poussent sur la tête de Cipus : lorsque des cornes lui poussent sur la tête et que l'augure consulté révèle qu'elles sont le présage de sa royauté, Cipus, le général romain, plutôt que de mettre la république en danger se bannit lui-même (Ovide, Métamorphoses XV 565)

French
als auf dem Kopf des römischen Prätors Cipus Hörner wachsen, befragt er einen Wahsager und erfährt, daß er zur Heilung König werden muß; weil er aber die republikanische Verfassung nicht zerstören will, verbannt sich Cipus selber (Ovid, Metamorphosen XV 565)

German
corna che crescono sulla testa di Cipo: quando cominciano a crescere delle corna sulla sua testa Cipo, pretore romano, consulta un aruspice che gli preannuncia che diventerà re; ma piuttosto che attentare alla costituzione repubblicana, Cipo si fa esiliare (Met. XV, 565)
