[Footnote 17: ἀπότεξις, “the bringing-forth” is the word used by Sextus throughout. As Sextus was a medical man it is probably the technical term corresponding to our “parturition.” Miller reads ἀποτάξις which does not seem appropriate.] [Footnote 18: διάθεμα. See n. on p. 67 _supra_.] [Footnote 19: I have here followed Sextus’ division of the sentence. Cruice translates στέαρ, _farina aqua subacta_, for which I can see no justification. Macmahon here follows him.] [Footnote 20: Restoring from Sextus οἴχεται for ἦρται.] [Footnote 21: ὡροσκόπον, “the ascending sign.” So Sextus.] [Footnote 22: Restoring from Sextus ἐφ’ ἑκάστου for ἐν ἑκάστῳ; τὸν ἀκριβῆ for τὸ ἀκριβὲς and omitting καταλαβέσθαι.] [Footnote 23: See n. on p. 74 _infra_.] [Footnote 24: Sextus has described earlier (p. 342, Fabricius) the whole process of warning the astrologer of the moment of birth by striking a metal disc, which I have called “gong.”] [Footnote 25: ἀορίστου τυγχανούσης.] [Footnote 26: ἐν πλείονι χρόνῳ καὶ ἐν συχνῷ πρὸς αἴσθησιν δυνάμενον μερίζεσθαι, _majori et longiori temporis spatio ad aurium sensum dividatur_, Cr.; “with proportionate delay,” Macmahon. I do not understand how either his or Cruice’s construction is arrived at.] [Footnote 27: Sextus has “on the hills.”] [Footnote 28: ὡροσκοποῦντος might mean “which marks the hour.”] [Footnote 29: φαίνεται ... ἀλλοιότερον ... διάθεμα.] [Footnote 30: _quam diligenter observari possit in coelo nativitas_, Cr., (before) “the nativity can be carefully observed in the sky.”] [Footnote 31: γένεσις. The word in Greek astrological works has the same meaning as “geniture” or “nativity” in modern astrological jargon. Identical with “theme.”] [Footnote 32: The whole of this sentence is corrupt, and the scribe was probably taking down something from Sextus which was read to him without his understanding it. I have given what seems to be the sense of the passage.] [Footnote 33: ὑδρίαι, Sextus (p. 342, Fabr.), has described the clepsydra or water-clock and its defects as a measurer of time.] [Footnote 34: ἐν πλάτει.] [Footnote 35: τὰ ἀποτελέσματα. A technical expression for the results or influence on sublunary things of the position of the heavenly bodies. Cf. Bouché-Leclercq, _op. cit._, p. 328, n. 1.] [Footnote 36: Sextus adds παγίως, “positively.”] [Footnote 37: οἱ μαθηματικοί. The only passage in our text where Hippolytus uses the word in this sense. He seems to have taken it from Sextus’ title κατὰ τὸν μαθηματικὸν λόγον.] [Footnote 38: A play of words upon Λέω and ἀνδρεῖος.] [Footnote 39: σπουδῆς. Hippolytus inserts an unnecessary οὐ before the word. See Sextus, p. 355.] [Footnote 40: οἰκειώσεως χάριν, _gratia consuetudinis_, Cr.] [Footnote 41: Does this refer to Otho’s encouragement by the astrologer Ptolemy to rebel against Galba? See Tacitus, _Hist._, I, 22. The sentence does not appear in Sextus.] [Footnote 42: Sextus says 9977 years.]
