May 24 | Fastorum Liber Quintus: Maius

H Q • R • C • F | IX Kal. | V.727-728, perhaps a day of the custom of sacred rites.

vel mos sacrorum vel fuga regis inest.

727 The next place is marked by four letters, which, read in order, signify either the custom of the sacred rites or the Flight of the King.

1. “Quando Rex Comitiavit Fas.” The Regifugium was on February 24. The alternative wrongly suggested by Ovid is “Quod Rex Comitio Fugerat.” See above, i. 54 note.
