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."

11. Chapter [Greek: Peri deipnou]: _Cat. codd. astr._, IV, p. 94. The
precept: "Ungues Mercurio, barbam Iove, Cypride crinem," {272} ridiculed by
Ausonius, (VII, 29, p. 108, Piper) is well known. There are many chapters
[Greek: Peri onuchon, Peri himation], etc.

12. _Cat. codd. astr._, V, 1 (Rom.) p. 11, cod. 2, f. 34: [Greek: Peri tou
ei echei megan rhina ho gennetheis. Poteron porne genetai he gennetheisa.]

13. Varro, _De re rustica_, I, 37, 2; cf. Pliny, _Hist. nat._, XVI, 75,
Sec. 194. Olympiod, _Comm. in Alcibiad Plat._, p. 18 (ed. Creuzer, 1821):
[Greek: Tous hieratikos zontas estin idein me apokeiromenous auxouses tes
selenes]. This applies to popular superstition rather than to astrology.

14. _CIL_, VI, 27140 = Buecheler, _Carmina epigraph._, 1163: "Decepit
utrosque | Maxima mendacis fama mathematici."

17. Vettius Valens, V, 12 (_Cat. codd. astr._, V, 2, p. 32 = p. 239, 8,
Kroll ed.); cf. V, 9 (_Cat._, V, 2, p. 31, 20 = p. 222, 11 Kroll ed.).

18. Cf. Steph. Byz., _Cat. codd. astr._, II, p. 186. He calls both [Greek:
stochasmos entechnos]. The expression is taken up again by Manuel Comnenus
(_Cat._, V, 1, p. 123, 4), and by the Arab Abou-Mashar [Apomasar] (_Cat._,
V, 2, p. 153).

19. The sacerdotal origin of astrology was well known to the ancients; see
Manilius, I, 40 ff.
