FVRI, uillula vestra non ad Austri  1 Furius, my little farm stands exposed 
flatus opposita est neque ad Fauoni  2 not to the blasts of Auster nor Favonius 
nec saeui Boreae aut Apheliotae,  3 nor fierce Boreas or Apheliotes, 
uerum ad milia quindecim et ducentos.  4 but to a call of fifteen thousand two sesterces. 
o uentum horribilem atque pestilentem! 5 A wind that brings horror and pestilence!
