A NEW ASTROLOGICAL TREATISE:

MICHIGAN PAPYRUS No. 11
BY FRANK EGLESTON ROBBINS
Papyrus No. 1 of the collection of the University of Michigan

was one of the first acquired by Professor Francis W. Kelsey, director
of the university's Near East Research, in Egypt in 1920-21. Paleo-
graphically it seems to belong to the second century after Christ.
Some half-dozen pieces were joined to make Fragment 1, the longest
covering ten consecutive columns; three others were joined in Frag-
ment 2, of five columns; two sizable strips and two smaller pieces
make up the two columns of Fragment 3, and the other fragments,
Nos. 4-7, are each single bits of papyrus, No. 6 being the largest
and containing the greater part of a column. Fragments 1, 2, and 6
all show a bottom margin, and all have lost a greater or smaller num-
ber of lines at the top; Fragment 3, on the contrary, shows a top mar-
gin and is mutilated at the bottom. The pieces vary greatly in size,
the greatest height of any piece being 235 millimeters. The complete
columns were probably about 200 millimeters in height, as may be
judged from column B of Fragment 2, which measures 197 millimeters
and seems to include both top and bottom lines, and from column C,
measuring 200 millimeters and equally complete, although the upper
part of both these columns is so mutilated as to be practically illegible.
In breadth the columns vary from 112 millimeters (1H) to 71 milli-
meters (1C).
1 The writer desires to acknowledge the courtesy of Professor Franz Cumont, who
inspected his transliteration of the text in a preliminary stage and offered a number of
valuable comments.

The hand is a clear, rounded uncial, and though there are varia-
tions, none, I think, is marked enough to make absolutely necessary
the supposition that more than one scribe did the copying. In Frag-
ment 1, for example, columns A, B, C, and D are written in moder-
ately large letters, which grow coarser in the succeeding columns. At
1J 14 the letters suddenly become very much smaller, and so continue
through the first two columns of Fragment 2, which probably follows
Fragment 1 without a break of more than the few lines lost at the top
of 2A. Columns C, D, and E of Fragment 2, however, are written in
the coarser hand already encountered, and this is true of Fragment 6.
Fragment 3, both in writing and in the color of the papyrus, closely
resembles the opening part of Fragment 1. In spite of these variations,
however, the formation of the letters is uniform throughout, and the
differences might be accounted for by the taking up of a new pen, or
by resuming work after a rest. Fragment 5, if any, would be the one
to ascribe to a different penman, and indeed this brief bit may not
belong with the other fragments at all.
There are no word separations, breathings, or marks of punctua-
tion in the papyrus, with the exception of a few paragraph signs, which
are noted. For the reader's benefit, however, in the transliteration
words have been separated and commas and colons have been intro-
duced; otherwise, the intention is to reproduce the papyrus in its
present state as closely as possible. Periods represent always missing
letters, in number corresponding as closely as possible to those which
have been lost. Words presumably in the original text but lost, and
now supplied, are inclosed in square brackets. Periods within square
brackets show that the papyrus at such a place is actually gone and
not merely illegible. Pointed brackets inclose letters or words, not
in a lacuna, inserted by the editor, and conversely rounded parentheses
inclose letters or words, appearing in the papyrus, which in the editor's
judgment should be omitted. Numerals are indicated by the line
above, which is the method employed by the papyrus. There are but
few abbreviations, which are duly noted; the commonest is, for
uotpa and its inflectional forms.
If one reads over Vettius Valens, the material given in the Cata-
logus Codicum Astrologicorum Graecorum,Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos, and
the other ancient astrological systems, it will soon be seen that they
are not startlingly different one from another. In detail they may be

unlike, and there are certainly many degrees of crudity among them,
and many degrees of elaboration, but the general cast is the same.
The interest of the treatise here presented lies in its unusual nature,
in comparison with other works of its type.
The material, astronomical and astrological alike, of Michigan
Papyrus 1 is to be paralleled elsewhere. The astrologers, for example,
report the anomalies of planetary motions, the phases, the oblique
ascensions, and the apogee and perigee of the planets substantially
as does our author. They also, like him, make Jupiter govern the
liver, speak of opta, aLpEo-Ets, significant signs, cardinal points, loci,
aKOvovTa and f3Xe'rovra,6twouaa, rrepea4 and 1LT,uEph4VA,
triangles, houses,
exaltations and depressions. In their understanding of the meaning
of these terms there is little discrepancy between them and him. Our
author, however, has put this material into an entirely different fabric,
bearing the impress of a notably independent personality and held
together by a principle foreign to all the rest.
This principle is introduced at the beginning of Fragment 1, and
is, in brief, that the portions of the heavens, measured on the zodiac,
which are governed by the various planets, are determined by the
sizes of their epicycles. Column A of Fragment 1 enumerates these
epicycles and gives their angular measurement. In columns B, C, D,
E, and F we are told of "portions," 1uEp-q, assigned to the planets in
accordance with this set of data, and in columns G and H the opta,
or degrees in the various signs especially influenced by the various
planets, are marked out on the same principle. With the other writers
the opta, though traditional, are purely arbitrary assignments, and
the gudpq do not occur at all.
A second peculiarity of this treatise is what is apparently a "man
of signs"-more accurately, "man of planets"-motif in 1C-F, where
the "portions" of the planets are marked off in the sky, each govern-
ing a portion of the human body from head to feet. Other astrologers,
of course, tell what parts of the body are governed by the planets but
hardly as systematically. Again, the designation of the i46,uara and
'ralrEaPc4tuara of the planets as their "thrones" and "prisons" (popvot,
4vXaKat) is noteworthy. The terms are not used by the astrologers
generally, although the former is found in Ptolemy's Tetrabiblosand
1toopovEtvwas used by Sarapion of Alexandria and Balbillus.'
1 See the note on the passage.

The author of this treatise leaves his identity a mystery. He men-

tions twice an aroTeXeouartK6S ro6luos(1E 35, 1J 18), evidently his
own. In 3A 2 he speaks of a Hippocrates,' who would probably be the
Chian geometer and astronomer of pre-Aristotelian time; the name
Asclepius also occurs (1I 19) as the authority for a theory of the ro'rot
-an OKTWTO7lrOS, in this case. Though an astrologer of the time of
Domitian is known to have borne this name, the reference here is
likely to be to the god, as he appears in the Hermetic literature as the
interlocutor and associate of Hermes.2
Only one thing, in fact, is to be said at this time as to the author
of the treatise and his place among astrological writers. The work is
palpably Egyptian, touching closely at certain points the writings
that went under the names of Hermes, Petosiris, and Nechepso, and
hence showing resemblances to Thrasyllus, Antiochus, and others
whom we know through the preserved fragments, and sometimes also
to Vettius Valens and Firmicus Maternus. These facts are brought
out, in some degree, in the following commentary; they are doubtless
to be accounted for by community of sources. Our author, of course,
antedates the last two authors mentioned; his place in time with
reference to the first two is more uncertain.
The text and comments here presented are intended frankly as a
preliminary publication, justified perhaps by the interest and novelty
of the treatise. Much of the papyrus is badly preserved, leaving la-
cunae to be filled in; the difficulty is heightened by errors and omis-
sions apparently to be charged to the copyist and his carelessness or
failure to understand what he wrote.3 Not all of these difficulties have
been conquered, and no attempt has been made to deal with certain
phases of the treatise-its astronomical implications, for example,
and its language-which deserve study.
1 The papyrus has .... iroKparsi only. It is tempting to read [Ap]iroKpar?s, but
this is impossible, for the tail of the p, as this scribe would make it, would be visible,
and is not. Under the circumstance [I7r]7roKpar?qs seems the only possible reading.
2 See the note on the passage.
3 See, for example, 1H 9, 10, 16, 33, where words are obviously to be supplied, and
the comments made on 1G 19-27, 1H 7.

TEXTUAL NOTES
1A 5. xia[vrw]v? There is hardly room to restore three letters. Pos-

sibly 7r[-77]vmight be read. 6. A device, i, is used to fill out the
line; cf. 1G 28. The word should be some form of vwroo/pos or
VwrTOcOpElV(cf. 1F 40, and VwTroqopE7Jv in Vettius Valens, p. 77,
14 [Kroll]), but the incorrect division of syllables is noteworthy
and unusual. The device might mark an abbreviation, but abbre-
viations, also, are uncommon in this treatise.

1B 2. erte. 6. A dash is used to fill out the line. 7. For the words
supplied cf. 11. 14-15. 19. Though a lacuna of three letters is
indicated probably nothing was written in the space; the papyrus
is somewhat broken at this point. 26. fop-utw,rpol. 35. Possi-
bilities are av [a3]avros, av [pL]avros, av [w zr]avTos.
1C 13. [Tro 7a...... [?woyovov]jIEvov is M. Cumont's suggestion.

1D 22. 7rpo[o]p[aL KaL]? 42. This line was perhaps not completely
filled out with writing.
1E 11. Apparently the rest of the line was left blank.
1G 15. ,K<oLpas>:in the papyrus, ,u, as also in 11.20 and 29. 28. At
the end of this line occurs a sign (I) to fill out the space.
29, 31. # Z and L Z are not marked as numerals in the papyrus.
1H 8. oplwv for oplov. 9. <aKX77v77s>: the papyrus has X, apparently
an abbreviation. 15. Part of the line is left blank. 25. OOLKOSE-
KTOpES.
1I 11-12. The papyrus has copoaKoroL. 18. b5aqgu,I.33. j co':c
is written above an o.
1J 29. This line was apparently not filled out. 30. eKOpov:sic.
34. Ij77is not marked as a numeral in the papyrus. 40. K<OLpwV>

28 FRAK EGLESTON ROBBINS
COMMENTARY
1A 8. With the statement that the Sun's is the smallest begins

the list of angular measurements of the epicycles of the planets,
fundamental in this treatise (see page 3) but not paralleled in other
astrological documents. The order is obviously one of size and not
of position in the heavens. Though the word oc/a'pa is used here
evidently epicycles (C7-='KVKXoS;cf. 1. 26 below, 1D 14, 40; 1E 12, 41)
are meant. The values given (for the radii) are:
Sun ... 21O (or 150')
Moon... 6 (or 360)
Saturn... 10 (or 600)
Jupiter... 13 45' (or 825)
Mercury... 21 15 (or 1,275)
Mars... 42 (or 2,520)
Venus... 48 (or 2,880)
12. Cf. the use of this value in 1F 8, 1G 37-39.
14. This value is used in 1G 29-30, 39; but in 1C 14-16 and 1F 13
one-third of the Moon's epicycle is given as 130' instead of 120'.

21-25. The zodiac was regarded as 16? broad, 80 on either side
of the ecliptic. The reference, however, may be to the zone 470 broad
defined by the inclination of the ecliptic to the equator (about
2310). This the epicycle of Venus would exceed as stated, and 06os
would refer to the Sun. For subsequent use of the measurement of
Venus' epicycle, cf. 1B 36, 1E 41-43, 1G 35-36, etc.
26. 7rap'av-ro:7rapais used in the papyrus in the sense of "after"
and 7rap'o to mean "then," "next"; cf. 1B 14.
1B 1-15. Comparison with the nearly full columns 2A and 2B
shows that perhaps ten lines have been lost between 1A and 1B. This
passage deals with the (apparent) variation in velocity of the planets
as they circle their epicycles, moving most swiftly at perigee, and vice
versa (cf. 11.14-15, on the basis of which 11.7-8 are restored).
16-23. The following list of daily motions is given: Sun, 59'16";
Moon, 13010'; Saturn, 2'; Jupiter, 5'; Mars, 32'; Venus and Mercury,

same as the Sun. Such data, but by no means identical, are given in
CCAG, VII, 119, 27 ff. (possibly from Heliodorus); cf. ibid., p. 118,
17 ff., for the statement that the Sun's motion is more or less than 10.
Geminus, p. 18, 7, gives 13?10'35"for the Moon's daily motion among
the stars. Cf. also Philo Judaeus De Cherubim7 for the contrast be-
tween the Sun, Venus, and Mercury and the rest.
24-31. The anomalies of Venus and Mercury are specially treated;
cf. 1J 22 ff. and Heliodorus in CCAG, VII, 119, 10 ff., Porphyry
Isagoge in Ptol., p. 184.
28. ra[c7reLvovu]evoL:Cf. 1A 23, 3A 26-27. The planets are raireL-
Vrepol in the parts of their epicycles nearest the earth; 1J 36-38.
29-31. The significance of the two figures given is not made en-
tirely clear, but the latter is the amount assigned by Hipparchus as
the daily motion of Mercury in its epicycle. The text seems corrupt,
especially (e)wore and 7r}elov[s].
31-36. Lacunae and illegibility make these lines unclear, but they
seem to give the general rule for the assignment of planetary "por-
tions" (gp?), and hence have an important bearing on what follows.
Ll. 33-34, especially, show that the "portions" depend on the measure-
ments of the epicycles. They are, in fact, computed at one-third of the
latter (see 36, and subsequent similar statements). Can the fraction
"i" be used as an approximation of ir?
36. Cf. 1A 24-25.
1C 1-14. This mutilated passage must have dealt with the "por-
tion" of the Sun, perhaps after a series of such measurements as -that
given in 1B 35-36. In the following passages describing the "por-
tions" of the other planets and connecting them with the parts of the
body we may see the "man of signs," or "man of planets," motif.
11. )',yqiC'vis a common epithet of the Sun, as M. Cumont points
out in a letter to the writer, referring to his "Theologie Solaire,"
Memoires presentes par divers savants a l'Academie des Inscriptions,
Vol. XII (cf. 11.27-28 below, 1F 10, 1I 29).
14. The rest of the column treats of the "portion" of the Moon.
Why one-third of the measure of the Moon's epicycle (cf. Al 14)
should be 130' and not 120' is wholly unclear. Ll. 14-18 are a formula
which appears with appropriate changes to introduce each "portion";
cf. 1D 14-17, 40-42; 1E 12-15, 39-44. Lacunae make the passage

difficult, and parallels in other writers are hard to find. The Moon
evidently governs at least part of the head and especially the face
(cf. 28 ff.), the changes in expression of which are like the Moon's
phases. L. 37 refers to the length of the lunar month (a common
arithmological topic). With the assignment of ro /.era/ooLK6v, rT voe-
piov, etc., in 21 ff., may be compared Bouche-Leclerq, L'Astrologie
Grecque (Paris, 1899), p. 325, with his citations.
1D 1-13. This must have described Saturn's "portion," which
would follow the Moon and precede Jupiter (14 ff., below), as the
order of 1A 9-26 evidently governs.

by Vettius Valens, p. 3, 30 (Kroll).
1F 7. c,u (840') is one-third of the epicycle of Mars. It is unclear
why the number appears here, unless it has something to do with the

epicycle of the Sun is 50' (1A 12). The text is hard to understand,
especially 12-13, 15-18, 24-25, not to mention lacunae. It is perhaps
abridged unskilfully.
13. Cf. on 1C 14. The other numerical data are based on those in
1A, being one-third of the measurements there given.

astrologically. There may be reference to 7ratSepaprta.

1G 7 ff. The exact significance of the following passage, to 27, is
not immediately evident, but it seems to contain directions for astro-
logical observations in connection with the casting of the horoscope
and the prognostications that can thereby be made. The space of
16? figures prominently (10, 11, 18, 21), and here again one-third is
taken (9), as above, in determining the qu4nq.One-third of 480, the
measure of the epicycle of Venus, is 160. The marking off of quadrants
(15, 16) is also in question.
19-27. There are many difficulties of restoring and understanding
the text. Some help may be gained from the passage immediately
following, which enumerates the 6pLa (termini) of the planets, for in
1. 28 it is stated that "these" (EKELVa),evidently meaning the measure-
ments just given, are "the true and natural termini of the gods," so
that the data of the two passages may legitimately be compared and
used to supplement each other. In 28-37 two parallel sets of meas-
urements are given, one, step by step, from 22? of Leo to 180 of Virgo

(36). This is no doubt to be identified with the space mentioned in

20-21, from 10 of Leo to 180 of Virgo, which, if the restoration is
correct, is said to be thrice 160. The parallel set of data in 28-37
is more confused. It begins with 24 of Gemini (30) and continues
regularly step by step to 180 of Pisces (36). One would of course have
expected Cancer, if Gemini were correct, for these are adjacent
signs (as are Leo and Virgo, in the parallel set). Gemini, however, is
probably a mistake, and Pisces correct, for Pisces is diametrically
opposite to Virgo; hence, for Gemini, we should substitute Aquarius
in the text, the sign opposite to Leo and adjacent to Pisces. If this
reasoning is correct, 1. 22 is explained. The abbreviation stands for
Aquarius and the space is from 10 of Aquarius to 180 of Pisces, again
thrice 160, or 480. From 23 to 27 there are many corruptions, and the
note on 1H 7 will explain what in general was the original reading, or
the intention of the author.
28. Here are listed the opta (termini). The conception is a familiar
one to astrology; a list like the present one, however, cannot be found.
The termini are based upon the epicycles listed in 1A; there is also a
connection with the preceding passage (see on 19-27). The termini
are given in sets of parallel pairs, apparently in opposite signs. Sub-
stituting Aquarius for Gemini, for the reasons stated in the preceding
note, the first two sets are:
Moon.... 210 to 62? of Leo (or Aquarius)

Saturn.... 62 to 10 of Leo (or Aquarius)
Jupiter... 10 to 13 45' of Leo (or Aquarius)
Mercury.... 13 45' to 24 15 of Leo (or Aquarius)
Mars.... 24 15 of Leo (or Aquarius)
to 12 of Virgo (or Pisces)
Venus.... 12 to 18 of Virgo (or Pisces)
Apparently a terminus of the Sun, from 10 to 210 of Leo or Aquarius,

has been omitted. The amounts of the epicycles are all measured from
the beginning so that each actual terminus is a difference between two.
Again, the series assumes an epicycle of 6"ofor the Moon, which corre-
sponds to the previous use of 130' as one-third of this epicycle, in
1C 14,1 F 13.

A NEW ASTROLOGICAL
TREATISE 33
37. A new double series of termini, apparently incomplete, begins

here, as follows:
Sun...... 12 to 1420 of Gemini (or Sagittarius)
0
Moon...... 141 to 182 of Gemini (or Sagittarius)

Saturn...... 182 to 22 of Gemini (or Sagittarius)
These only are given, but the series might be expected to proceed:
Jupiter ...... 220to 25?45' of Gemini (or Sagittarius)
Mercury.25 45' of Gemini (or Sagittarius)to 3015' of
Cancer(or Capricorn)
Mars ..... . 3 15 to 240 of Cancer(or Capricorn)
Venus ...... 24 to 30 of Cancer(or Capricorn)
1H 7. The next series of termini is thus given:
1. Sun...... 18 0 to 20? of Virgo (or Pisces)
2. Moon..... 201 to 242 of Virgo (or Pisces)
3. Saturn .. . 24I to 28 of Virgo (or Pisces)
4. Jupiter. 28 of Virgo (or Pisces)to 9015' of
Libra (or Aries)
5. Mars...... 9 015' to 300 of Libra (or Aries)
We would, however, expect to have

4. Jupiter...... 280of Virgo(orPisces)to 1045' of Libra(orAries)
5. Mercury...... of Libra (or Aries)
1045' to 14015'
6. Mars...... 14 15 to 30 of Libra (or Aries)
The first two double series of termini (1G 28 ff., 37 ff.) contained 480
each. Apparently the double series of 1H 7 ff. contained 420 each, and
probably it was balanced by another double series of similar extent,
420, from 10 of Scorpio (or Taurus) to 120 of Sagittarius (or Gemini).
To these, 11.13-14, in their present state greatly confused, doubtless
referred. They now read, "Again, from 10 of Scorpio and Sagittarius
to 120 of Sagittarius is the terminus of Mars," which is plainly wrong,
for Scorpio and Sagittarius are adjacent signs. Much has dropped out.
If, as is probable, these lines represent the remains of a description of a
fourth double series, as specified, proceeding by the same sort of steps,
and ending with a terminus of Mars (for the whole space would hardly
be a terminus of Mars, as the present text implies), it is now seen that
the papyrus sets up eight regular series of termini, or four double

series, in opposite signs of the zodiac; four series, or two double series,
are 480 in extent, the others 42.0 The figure shows the arrangement.
This also throws light on the difficulties of 1G 20-27. In 1. 23,
EsS K[a]p[KL]Po0 V 7 , the numeral j7 is unnecessary and should be
omitted, and in 25-26 the text has suffered a great deal of corruption.
FIG.1
The six spaces there marked out in the original and uncorrupted form
of the treatise were
i. From 10 of Leo to 180 of Virgo, 480 (ll. 20-22)
ii. From 1 of Aquariusto 180 of Pisces, 480 (1.22)
iii. From 12 of Geminito 300 of Cancer,480 (1.23)
iv. From 12 of Sagittarius to 300 of Capricorn, 480 (1.24)
v. From 18 of Virgo to 300 of Libra, 420 (11.25-26)
vi. From 1 of Taurus to 120 of Gemini, 420 (1.26)
The two additional segments, opposite to v and vi,
vii. From 180 of Pisces to 300 of Aries, 420
viii. From 1 of Scorpio to 12? of Sagittarius, 420
are not specifically included but may now be supplied from what has
followed. Ll. 25-26 are so hopelessly mutilated, corrupted, and

abridged that it is not worth while to explain how the confusion arose;
what originally stood here was probably something like this: KaL

16. The doctrine of the sectae (alpouELs) here set forth is also to
be found in Vettius Valens ii. 1, p. 55 (Kroll), and iii. 5; Rhetorius in
CCAG, I, 146; Antiochus, ibid., VIII, 3, p. 112, 6; Petrosiris, ibid.,
p. 100; and the chapter of Paulus Alexandrinus D26 7rEpi ris r v bopv-
oopcovalpEoEcos;see Bouche-Leclerq, p. 103. It is characteristically
Egyptian. The idea that the planets act as bodyguards for the Sun
and Moon (6opv0opE?h)is also common in astrology (Bouche-Leclerq,
pp. 252 ff.).
20-28. The passage apparently treats of favorable and unfavor-
able positions for the members of the two sectae in a horoscope, and is
difficult to parallel from other texts.
25. OIKOKrKTWp is used and explained by Vettius Valens, p. 186,
15 (Kroll), and by Rhetorius, CCAG, VIII, 4, p. 206, 11.
26. KEVrpwv: see 1I 11-12.
27. rorwwv:see 1I 12-26.
29-31. The same doctrine of "significant signs" is to be found in
Antiochus (who takes it from Timaeus) in CCAG, VIII, 3, p. 116, 3 ff.;
see also ibid., p. 107, 1 ff. Both Antiochus and our author speak in
terms of "signs" (?c,&ta), though since the order is determined by the
horoscope as the starting-point obviously the principle of the rlrotl is
also involved. Presumably the sign designated as the horoscope is the
one which coincides (in most cases, of course, only partially) with the
first locus, the "horoscope."
31-37. Another passage dealing with favorable positions for diur-
nal and nocturnal planets in diurnal and nocturnal nativities. No
exact parallels are forthcoming.
35. "Not only by signs but also by degrees"; the same adverbs are
used by Vettius Valens, p. 144, 11 (and see Kroll's Index).
1I 1-11. The material is similar to that in 1H 20-28, 31-37, but
the planets are specified. Since Saturn belongs to the diurnal or
solar sect and Mars to the nocturnal or lunar, it is to be expected that

the former should occupy a prominent position in a diurnal, the latter

in a nocturnal, nativity, to exert favorable influences (cf. 1H 16).
5. The designation of signs as masculine or feminine is a standard
practice of astrology; cf. Bouche-Leclerq, pp. 154-55, and 3A 5 ff.,
below.
8. "To have a relation to the nativity," Xo'yov EXELVirp6s ri7v
YEVEULV,is technical astrological language to be paralleled, e.g., in
Vettius Valens vii. 1, p. 265, 24 ff.; vii. 5, p. 286, 22 ff. (Kroll).
11-12. The cardinal points, or "centers," are defined in the usual
way; cf. Bouche-Leclerq, p. 258.
12-18. Here begins a discussion of the loci, rw7rot,a doctrine
Egyptian in its development, if not in origin. See Bouche-Leclerq,
pp. 256 ff., and F. Cumont, "Icrits Hermetiques, I. Sur les douze
lieux de la sphere," Revue de Philologie, XLII (1918), 63-79. The
present passage describes a dodecatopos, giving the names of the
twelve loci in substantially the same terms as most of the writers
whose accounts are preserved, e.g., Thrasyllus in CCAG, VIII, 3,
p. 101, 16 ff.; Antiochus ibid., p. 117; Vettius Valens iv. 12; Firmicus
Maternus ii. 19. Thrasyllus ascribes to Hermes Trismegistus the
doctrine which appears with little variation in all these places and in
our papyrus.
17. a7roK)Xlats: With this may be compareda6roK?tL,a pEaovpavrq-
;aros, given by Antiochus as the name of the ninth region (loc. cit.).
19-26. An octotopos is described immediately after the dodeca-
topos, and is ascribed to Asclepius. It was an older conception than
the system of twelve regions; cf. Cumont, op. cit., p. 70, and though
Bouch6-Leclerq speaks of it only as occurring in Manilius it is found
in at least two other astrological writers, Thrasyllus in CCAG, VIII,
3, pp. 101 ff., and Antiochus, ibid., p. 117, 21 ff., as Cumont points
out. M. Cumont thinks it probable that Petosiris was the source of
the doctrine of the octotopos for the Greeks (op. cit., nn. 2 and 3).
Indeed, at least part of the passage of Thrasyllus cited is based on
the so-called Petosiris and Nechepso, and as for Antiochus, we may
note CCAG, VIII, 3, p. 116, 11, Kac-ac 6E roV' /aa3nEa xpnAarLTwEW
XE,yovTrat Ta 6 KEZvTpaKai at rovTcov7ravaoopat, which seems to refer
to the eight regions and to connect the doctrine with Nechepso, the
"king." Here the octotopos is assigned to Asclepius. This is quite

A NEW ASTROLOGICAL
TREATISE 37
consistent, for undoubtedly the god is meant. Asclepius appears in

the same cycle of mystical Egyptian writings as Petosiris and Nechep-
so (see Cumont, op. cit., p. 68, with n. 1); he is sometimes the pupil
of Hermes, and again the instructor of favored human beings (e.g.,
CCAG, VIII, 3, p. 136, 31 ff.; VIII, 4, p. 257). There is also another
explicit record of the connection between Asclepius and the doctrine
of the eight regions; Vettius Valens, p. 334, 18 (Kroll), (K ravir7s yayp

20. For E'TLUKE44l,

27-38. The author gives a remarkable exhibition of independence
from the restraints of tradition by setting forth here an entirely
different system of prognostics after having enumerated those of the
dodecatopos and the octotopos, which rested on the supposedly
supernatural authority of Hermes and Asclepius. He uses one element
from the systems of T6O"l, the horoscope, combined with the planets
instead of the TrWOo. It is true that many of the TO7IOLwere custom-
arily associated with planets, the first with Mercury, the third with
the Moon, the fifth with Venus, and so on. Our author, however,
without doubt means the planets themselves and not the Tro'ot
assigned to them, for there is no agreement between the prognostics
here attached to the planets and in the more usual accounts to the
67Irot which belong to them, except in the case of the horoscope.
For prognostications about the father to be drawn from the Sun, and
about the mother from the Moon, cf. Hephaestion (based on Dorothe-
us of Sidon) in CCAG, VIII, 2, p. 60. On Saturn, cf. Rhetorius in ibid.,
VII, 215, 5 ff.
1J 1-18. These badly mutilated lines perhaps contained the
author's system of prognostication from the planets. L. 6 may refer to
Jupiter (cf. 1I 34-35), 1. 7 to Venus, and 1. 9 to Mercury.
19-41. The next subject is the anomalies of the planets and their
movemnentsrelative to the Sun.
22. Mercury and Venus move faster than the Sun (in the geo-
centric theory) and hence are seen both to overtake and pass it and to
be overtaken and passed by the Sun, in contrast to the other three
planets which always move more slowly than the Sun and hence are

only overtaken and passed, but do not themselves overtake the Sun.
This distinction between the inferior and superior planets may also
be found in CCAG, VII, 118, 28 ff. (Heliodorus ?), and implicit in other
astrological writings, e.g., Porphyry In Ptol., p. 184.
25. Cf. Antiochus in CCAG, VIII, 3, p. 115, 1, Porphyry loc. cit.,
Vettius Valens iv. 14, p. 182, 22 ff. (Kroll).
31. 220 is evidently given as the greatest elongation of Mercury;
it corresponds roughly with the radius of its epicycle, 21?15' (1A 18).
Porphyry (loc. cit.) names 260.
34. 480, the elongation of Venus, corresponds with the radius of
its epicycle given in 1A 25, and Porphyry gives 470.

2A 1-4. The subject matter is so similar that in all probability
Fragment 2 directly follows Fragment 1. The papyrus itself is broken
between the columns, and therefore gives no sign.
5-18. The "three stars" are the three superior planets, Saturn,
Jupiter, and Mars, whose movements relative to the Sun are now dis-
cussed. (The mutilated 11. 1-4 probably related to Venus and Mer-
cury.) The best commentary on the passage is Pliny N.H. ii. 59-60:

can amend Kin l. 8 to pK.

18-27. The special phases of Mars, for which see Pliny loc. cit.
and Rhetorius in CCAG, VII, 217, 24. Note, however, that our author
derives their name from the ninety-day period of time and says that

Mars is then sextile to the Sun, whereas Pliny derives the name from
the aspect, saying that Mars is then quartile. Rhetorius, too, although
he uses the terms '7,upraseVVeV'KOVTaand eVVfVflKOV0'IflepOV,

phases in the quartile aspect.
27-31. The tropics and equinoxes are placed in the eighth degree of
the sign, as in Manilius, Manetho, etc.; cf. Bouch6-Leclerq, p. 129, 1.
Rhetorius, in CCAG, VII, 219, 19 ff., puts them in the first degree.
31-37. This account of the phases of the Moon, naming four, with
seven-day periods, is best compared with Philo Judaeus De op. mundi
34, Leg. all. i. 4, where a similar scheme is outlined. Generally the
astrologers named more than four phases; seven, as in Vettius Valens
ii. 35, or eleven, Rhetorius, op. cit., p. 222, 28 ff.

38. This passage, to 2B 10, deals with the oblique ascension
(avaoop4) of the zodiacal signs, an astronomical topic recognized by
most astrologers. From the data given here the following table can
be made:

The ascensions are given in terms of xpovoL; the meaning of this is

explained in 2B 9-10, and (together with the term "equinoctial hour")
in CCAG, VII, 122, 20, and Vettius Valens i. 7, p. 23, 19 (Kroll). The
table shows clearly what the text means by "addition and subtrac-
tion" (wrpoaOeuLs, acL4tpecLs) and the significance of 2B 7-8, regarding
Cancer and Capricorn. The latitudes (KXL,ara)as given here do not

agree with the lists in other sources, e.g., Ptolemy Almagest ii. 6,
Firmicus Maternus ii. 11. 3 ff., Martianus Capella, and Cleomedes De
motu circ. corp. cael. ii. 1, p. 160 (Ziegler). The present passage is
much more systematic and accurate than the corresponding one of
Firmicus Maternus.
39. The author specifies that there are seven latitudes; Ptolemy
(loc. cit.) names many more.
42. Note the very peculiar use of ,Bas a fractional sign, for two-
thirds, here and in 2B 7; and likewise in 1.45 a vertical stroke to signify
one-third. There can be no question that these fractions are intended;
cf. the table,above. This is the basis for the emendations made in
2A 47 and 2B 5.
47. Argos is not elsewhere used as the marker of a latitude.
2B 10. These data were evidently used in predicting the length of
life.
11. The following passages describe the associations of signs by
lines parallel to the equinoctial and solstitial axes, the so-called
aKOvoPTa and i3X&irovra; see Bouche-Leclerq, pp. 159 ff. The pairs of
aKOvovrTa in this papyrus are Taurus-Pisces, Gemini-Aquarius, Cancer-
Capricorn, Leo-Sagittarius; Virgo and Scorpio are not mentioned but
should be added. This is the more primitive system described by
Bouche-Leclerq and illustrated by him (Fig. 17, p. 161). It is followed
by Rhetorius in CCAG, I, 155. Our author omits to say that these
signs are laava6opa or that the northern signs "command" and the
southern "obey" (Bouche-Leclerq, pp. 163-64; cf. [Proclus] In Ptol.
Quadripartitumn, pp. 33-34).
16-17. Doubtless this is an explanation of the term &Kov'ovra.
20. One would expect a clause to the effect that when the Sun is
in Pisces the night is thirteen hours long; cf. what is said of Gemini
and Aquarius in 22-24. Evidently this has fallen out of the text.
25. Possibly the author intended to say that because of the Earth
coming between them Cancer and Capricorn could not "hear" each
other. This was not usual, though these signs were commonly repre-
sented as not "seeing" any other sign (Bouche-Leclerq, p. 160).
27. Something has been lost here also. These signs "see" each
other, which seems to be the sense of 1. 28.
29. 'KaTE'pWOE KTX.: The sense of these words is unclear.

A NEW ASTROLOGICAL
TREATISE 41
31. When the Sun is in the signs called IX\Erovra, the length of
the day is the same number of hours in each (so Demophilus, p. 193
[ed. Basil., 1559]);in aKo5voPTa the length of the day in one equalsthe
length of the night in the other (cf. 11.18-19).
36. Cancer and Capricorn bear the relation of "seeing" to each
other but are prevented from actual "sight" by the Earth intervening
between them. So Antiochus also (ap. Firmicus Maternus ii. 29. 2).
38-40. Geminus 2, 27 ff. says that Cancer rose and set farthest
north, Capricorn farthest south, of all the signs, which does not agree
with the statement here.
41. The rest of the column is unclear because of mutilation.
Cancer, Leo, and Virgo (46) form one quadrant in the zodiac.
2C 9-10. Our author proceeds to discuss groupings of the signs
according to various aspects, beginning with the quadrangular
(Bouche-Leclerq, pp. 170-71). According to thi,s aspect, the three
groups of four signs each were:
1. 7powrtKa: Aries, Cancer,Libra, Capricorn
2. oXrEpEa: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio,Aquarius
3. 8&ow,ua:Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces
The latter group is referredto here, and possibly the Tpo7rLKA in 1. 7
([to-,uiptv[a]?); they included the equinoctial and solstitial signs.
11. Gemini is the lunar house of Mercury, Virgo his solar house.
Virgo is also the sign in which Mercury is exalted and Venus depressed.
Sagittarius is the solar house of Jupiter and Pisces his lunar house.
Thus the bow,ua, embracing the houses of Mercury and Jupiter, might
be said to be dominated by these two planets. As for the other quad-
rangles, we find the following planets involved:
TpO7rtKa:Aries-lunar houseof Mars,exaltationof Sun, depressionof Saturn
Cancer-house of Moon, exaltationof Jupiter,depressionof Mars
Libra-solar houseof Venus,exaltationof Saturn,depressionof Sun
Capricorn-solar house of Saturn, exaltationof Mars, depression
of Jupiter
crrEpEa: Taurus-lunar house of Venus, exaltation of Moon
Leo-house of Sun
Scorpio-solar house of Mars, depressionof Moon
Aquarius-lunar house of Saturn
In 11.15 and 24 (certainly the latter) there wete doubtless statements
like that of 11, concerning the dominating planetary influences in the

42 ROBBINS
FRANKEGLESTON
quadrangles of the rpo7rTLKa and the o-repea. As far as houses are con-
cerned, Venus, Mars, and Saturn are evenly distributed through these
two groups. However, the Sun and Moon (1. 11) would probably be
assigned to the rpo7ItKabecause of the great importance of these signs
in marking the Sun's path, which would leave the -repeato Saturn
(1. 24), with Mars or Venus, or with both. Other astrologers specified
the planets dominating the four triangles, but are silent as to these
quadrangles.
Most of the rest of the column is so fragmentary that its meaning
is unclear.
20. The triangles rather than the quadrangles were ordinarily as-
signed to elements; cf. CCAG, VII, 104. Since each oTepe6v belongs
to a different triangle, the statement of 1. 26 would, in this sense, be
true, and each arepe6v could be said to be assigned to an element.
30. The KaK07roLot were Saturn and Mars; Jupiter, Venus, and the
Moon were a&ya0o-rowto, and the Sun and Mercury 7tlKOLVOL,according
to Julian of Laodicea, CCAG, IV, 152; similarly Sextus Empiricus
Adv. math. v, p. 733, 8 ff. (Bekker), save that the Sun and Moon are
not mentioned.
38. The apogee and perigee of the Sun and planets are given thus:
Sun-apogee in Gemini;perigeenot stated,but wouldbe Sagittarius
Venus-perigee in Pisces, apogeein Virgo
Jupiter-apogee in Cancer,perigeein Capricorn
If we turn to the list of exaltations and depressions in 3A 22 ff., we
find the following given for these three:
Sun-exalted in Aries, depressedin Libra
Venus-exalted in Pisces, depressedin Virgo
Jupiter-exalted in Cancer,depressedin Capricorn
We may also compare Pliny N.H. ii. 16: "igitur a terrae centro apsides
altissimae Saturno in Scorpione, Ioui in Uirgine, Marti in Leone,
Soli in Geminis, Ueneri in Sagittario, Mercurio in Capricorno, mediis
omnium partibus, et e contrario ad terrae centrum humillimae atque
proximae." These statements seem to be inconsistent with each other.
One would expect the exaltation to correspond with the apogee and
the depression with the perigee, and this is the case with Jupiter in
the papyrus, but just the reverse with Venus, while with the Sun the
apogee is given as by Pliny. But there was a great confusion among

A NEW ASTROLOGICAL
TREATISE 43
the astrologers on these points (see Bouche-Leclerq, pp. 193 ff.), and
a conflict between astronomy and astrology, for the exaltations and
depressions were the signs in which the power of the planets, not neces-
sarily their position, was at the highest or lowest point. Still one may
suspect that there is something wrong with our text as far as it relates
to Venus. It may also be remarked that whereas exaltations and de-
pressions are a common enough astrological topic apogee and perigee
are not.
42. Can btageo-ovP[rt]be a mistake for 5ta,Ierpovvrt? The papyrus
is clear.
2D 1 ff. This column apparently contained some of the minor
classifications of the signs; e.g., [06fpto]Aopqa 7, [avOpwcrw]KECaXos 8,
7roXvo-7ropa 10. The whole is too fragmentary to allow accurate restora-
tion. One of the triangles, the northern (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius),
is apparently mentioned in 1. 8. Various portions of signs, the first
or the last parts of them, are mentioned in 11-14; cf., for example,
Sarapion in CCAG, VIII, 4, p. 230, 1. Cf. also 11.29-30.
18. Cf. CCAG, VII, 112, 2, r6 VE4X5LOVTOVKapKLPOV a7ro L ws tLE.
2E 1 ff. This column is even more fragmentary than the last.
3A. 2. [I7r-7roKparr7s: See above, p. 4.
3. Cf. CCAG, I, 168, 19 ff. (also ibid., p. 160, 12 ff.) which refers
the epithets 5at uwv and T"'X?7,of the Sun and Moon, to Hermes Trisme-
gistus, making it clear that this is an Egyptian doctrine. M. Cumont
also refers to the chapter of Paulus Alexandrinus 1replrTv eIrra KXlpwJV
TAv 'v
r3 Havapirq 2).
(K,
4. The alternate signs were masculine and feminine, respectively.
The distinctions appear below in 11.12-20. See on 115.
7-9. Cf. 1G 16-19. ovTot, 8, are the planets, as enumerated in the
passage cited. M. Cumont points out that the expression Tots 3vat
again, belongs distinctly to the Egyptian tradition, which
/3aacUEvTaT,
divided the government of the heavens between the Sun and the
Moon, in contrast to the Chaldeans, for whom the Sun was the sole
master.
9-21. The houses of the planets; so Firmicus Maternus ii. 2,
Sextus Empiricus Adv. math. v, p. 734, 5 (Bekker), Vettius Valens ii.
40. Dorotheus Sidonius ap. Hephaestion i. 7 in CCAG, VI, 95, 76 (cf.
Hephaestion in ibid., I, 90) gives a single house for each of the planets
except the Sun and Moon.

22-34. Here are described what the astrologers ordinarily called

"exaltations" and "depressioni" (v'c4,jiara, ra-reLvwjia-ra), but unique-
ly, by an easily understood metaphor, our author calls them "thrones"
and "prisons" (OpO6voL, 4vXaKac). The former word is used by Ptolemy
(Bouch6-Leclerq, p. 244) and l5lOpovE?v also occurs (ibid., p. 406,
n. 2, and p. 513; Sarapion in CCAG, VIII, 4, p. 228, 25, and p. 231, 13;
Balbillus, ibid., p. 237, 8); 4vXaKi, however, seems not to be found
elsewhere in this sense. The positions of the exaltations and depres-
sions, as far as can be judged in the mutilated condition of the text,
are the same as those usually given by astrologers; cf. Vettius Valens
iii. 4, p. 140, 8 (Kroll), Firmicus Maternus ii. 3. 5, Dorotheus Sidonius
in CCAG, VI, 95, Sextus Empiricus Adv. math., p. 734 (Bekker), and
CCAG, V, 154.
3B 4. Libra, Aquarius, and Gemini compose the western triangle,
and Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn (1. 5) the southern. The former is
dominated by Saturn by day and by Mercury by night, with Jupiter
in association; the latter, by Venus by day and the Moon by night,
with Saturn as associate according to Ptolemy, or Mars according to
Dorotheus, who further associates Mercury with this triangle; see
Bouche-Leclerq, pp. 202 ff.
6. Possibly these planets are here as rulers of the southern triangle;
see the preceding note.
9. Scorpio, Pisces, and Cancer form the eastern triangle, ruled by
Venus (day), Mars (night), and the Moon in third place; see Bouche-
Leclerq, loc. cit.
10. Mars and Venus apparently are mentioned as rulers of the
eastern triangle, and Jupiter, if the reading is correct, is made their
associate. This is reasonable enough (from the astrological stand-
point), as Pisces is the house of Jupiter, but it is noteworthy that it
conflicts with both Ptolemy and Dorotheus.
13. The next passage marks off the zodiacal circle into quadrants.
In 16, KPELOV
1. X is undoubtedly intended.
Fragments 4 and 5. Both of these are so mutilated that little can
be made of them.
Fragment 6, 1-13. Much mutilated- but apparently treats of
positions where the planets are effective or the reverse, as in the signs
before (7-9) and after (10-11) their exaltations.

13. Apparently the author says that the planets do not "rejoice"
(hence are not favorable) in opposition, unless they exchange houses.
See Bouch6-Leclerq, pp. 166 ff., on opposition; the Chaldean view
was that it is favorable, most others thought it unfavorable. Antio-
chus in CCAG,VIII, 3, 113, 28, says, ro Kara 5adL/aepov av1rt07XovjvAv,
XELPOV 6E KaKorolOv 7rapovros, and Sarapion in ibid., 4, p. 228, 19, is
to somewhat similar effect; the latter adds that the better (KpElr-rovEs)
oppositions are those in which the planets are in their own houses,
which seems to contradict our author.
17. Maleficent planets are particularly so in quartile or in opposi-
tion. The quartile aspect (in contrast to the triangular) was regarded
as unfavorable; cf. Antiochus in CCAG,VIII, 3, p. 113, and Sarapion
in ibid., 4, p. 228, 17 ff.; Sextus Empiricus Adv. math. v, p. 735, 1
(Bekker).
19. The beneficent planets are Jupiter and Venus, the maleficent
Saturn and Mars, and Mercury shares the characteristics of both
groups according to the circumstances; see Sextus Empiricus Adv.
math. v, p. 733, 8 (Bekker), and Julian of Laodicea in CCAG,IV, 152.
20. Similarly in CCAG,VI, 62 (from Petosiris), it is stated that
the quartile aspect is much more effective, whether for good or for
ill, than the triangular, and opposition is also said to be effective.
22. The rest of the column is much broken and the subjects
treated are not clear. Aspects of the Sun and Moon are mentioned
in 22 and 33-38; possibly the passage had to do with the significance
of the individual planets in the various aspects, going further into
detail than the general statements of 13 ff.
