BIBLIOGRAPHY: Bouche-Leclercq's book _L'astrologie grecque_ (Paris, 1899) makes it unnecessary to refer to the earlier works of Saumaise (_De annis climactericis_, 1648), of Seiffarth (_Beitraege sur Lit. des alten Aegypten_, II, 1883), etc. Most of the facts cited by us are taken from that monumental treatise, unless otherwise stated.--A large number of new texts has been published in the _Catalogus codicum astrologorum Graecorum_ (9 vols. ready, Brussels, 1898).--Franz Boll, _Sphaera_ (Leipsic, 1903) is important for the history of the Greek and barbarian constellations (see _Rev. archeol._, 1903, I, p. 437).--De la Ville de Mirmont has furnished notes on _L'astrologie en Gaule au V^e siecle_ (_Rev. des Etudes anciennes_, 1902, pp. 115 ff.; 1903, pp. 255 ff.; 1906, p. 128). Also in book form, Bordeaux, 1904. The principal results of the latest researches have been outlined to perfection by Boll, _Die Erforschung der {271} antiken Astrologie_ (_Neue Jahrb. fuer das klass. Altert._, XI), 1908, pp. 104 ff.--For the bibliography of magic, cf. _infra_, notes, 58 ff. 1. Stephan. Byzant. (_Cat. codd. astr._, II, p. 235), I, 12: [Greek: Exochotate kai pases epistemes despoina]. Theophil. Edess., _ibid._, V, 1, p. 184: [Greek: Hoti pason timiotera technon]. Vettius Valens, VI, proem. (_ibid._, V, 2, p. 34, 7 = p. 241, 19, Kroll ed.): [Greek: Tis gar ouk an krinai tauten ten theorian pason prouchein kai makariotaten tunchanein]. 2. Cf. Louis Havet, _Revue bleue_, Nov., 1905, p. 644. 3. Cf. _supra_, p. 146, p. 123. 4. Kroll, _Aus der Gesch. der Astrol._ (_Neue Jahrb. fuer das klass. Altertum_, VII), 1901, pp. 598 ff. Cf. Boll, _Cat. codd. astr._, VII, p. 130. 5. The argumentation of Posidonius, placed at the beginning of the Tetrabiblos, inspired the defense of astrology, and it has been drawn upon considerably by authors of widely different spirit and tendencies, see Boll, _Studien ueber Claudius Ptolemaeus_, 1894, pp. 133 ff. 6. Suetonius, Tib., 69. 7. Suetonius, _Othon_, 8; cf. _Bouche-Leclercq_, p. 556, n. 4. 8. On these edifices, cf. Maass, _Tagesgoetter_, 1902. The form "Septizonia" is preferable to "Septizodia"; cf. Schuerer, _Siebentaegige Woche_ (Extr. _Zeitschr. neutestam. Wissensch._, VI), 1904, pp. 31, 63. 9. Friedlaender, _Sittengesch._, I, p. 364. It appears that astrology never obtained a hold on the lower classes of the rural population. It has a very insignificant place in the folklore and healing arts of the peasantry. 10. Manilius, IV, 16.--For instance _CIL_, VI, 13782, the epitaph of a Syrian freedman: "L. Caecilius L. l(ibertus) Syrus, natus mense Maio hora noctis VI, die Mercuri, vixit ann. VI dies XXXIII, mortuus est IIII Kal. Iulias hora X, elatus est h(ora) III frequentia maxima." Cf. Bucheler, _Carm. epigr._, 1536: "Voluit hoc astrum meum."
