« In eaque Ara istarum specierum equos apponebat Flaminica, ea intentione, ut quorsum tenderet sacrificium indicaret. Equos scilicet immolari solitos hisce diis, eadem solemnitate, qua Festus Octobri mense prescriptum reliquit, equum in campo Martio quotannis immolari solitum Deo Marti Romae, cujus cauda, ut ex ea sanguis in forum distillaret, magna celeritate perferebatur in Regiam, partiri pandae rei divinae gratia. »
