Conveniunt, ut certa gerant commercia rerum, | Inque vicem praestant visus
atque auribus haerent, | Aut odium, foedusque gerunt," etc.--Signs [Greek:
bleponta] and [Greek: akouonta]: cf. Bouche-Leclercq, pp. 139 ff.--The
planets rejoice ([Greek: chairein]) in their mansions, etc.--Signs [Greek:
phoneenta], etc.: cf. _Cat._, I, pp. 164 ff.; Bouche-Leclercq, pp. 77 ff.
The terminology of the driest didactic texts is saturated with mythology.

Zosimus attributes this theory to Zoroaster. Wendland, _Die
hellenistisch-roem. Kultur_, 1907, p. 81. This is the meaning of the verse
of the _Orac. Chaldaica_: [Greek: Ou gar huph' heimarten agelen piptousi
theourgoi] (p. 59 Kroll). According to Arnobius (II, 62, Cornelius Labeo)
the magi claimed "deo esse se gnatos nec fati obnoxios legibus."

58. _Bibliography._ We have no complete book on Greek and Roman magic.
Maury, _La magie et l'astrologie dans l'antiquite et au moyen age_, 1864,
is a mere sketch. The most complete account is Hubert's art. "Magia" in the
_Dict. des antiquites_ of Daremberg, Saglio, Pottier. It contains an index
of the sources and the earlier bibliography. More recent studies are: Fahz,
_De poet. Roman. doctrina magica_, Giessen, 1903; Audollent, _Defixionum
tabulae_, Paris, 1904; Wuensch, _Antikes Zaubergeraet aus Pergamon_, Berlin,
1905 (important objects found dating back to the third century, A. D.);
Abt, _Die Apologie des Apuleius und die Zauberei_, Giessen, 1908.--The
superstition that is not magic, but borders upon it, is the subject of a
very important article by Riess, "Aberglaube," in the _Realenc._ of
Pauly-Wissowa. An essay by Kroll, _Antiker Aberglaube_, Hamburg, 1897,
deserves mention.--Cf. Ch. Michel {278} in the _Revue d'hist. et litt.
rel._, VII, 1902, p. 184. See also _infra_, nn. 64, 65, 72.

of discussions started by the theories of Frazer, _The Golden
