And let none of the Greeks ever be apprehensive that being mortals we should never have dealings with divine affairsCf. Plato, Laws, vii. 821 A.; they should rather be of the quite opposite opinion, that the divine is never either unintelligent or in any ignorance of

Plato, Tim. 24 C. The praiseworthy thing in it that we have to mention is that it may be taken as midway between a wintry and a summery climate; and our climate, being inferior in its summer to that in the region over there,Syria and Egypt; cf. 987 A. as we said, has been so much later in imparting the cognizance of these cosmic deities.

and do state, so much as adequate knowledge tells us. For real wisdom shows herself in some such way as this to him who has got even a little share of right and divine meditation. And now there remain three stars, of which one is distinguished from the others by its slowness, and some speak of it under the title of Saturn; the next after it in slowness is to be cited as Jupiter; and the next after this, as Mars, which has the ruddiest hue of all. Nothing in all this is hard to understand

Thus far, at least, I asseverate with certainty: I say, once more, that there are eight of them, and that while threei.e. sun, moon, and fixed stars. of the eight have been told, five yet remain. The fourthVenus（or Lucifer）; cf. Plato, Tim. 38 D. in motion and transit together, and the fifth,Mercury. are almost equal to the sun in speed, and on the whole are neither slower nor swifter. These being three, must be so regarded by him who has sufficient mind.

Now in regard to all these and those beings who either have their own motion in these, or are borne in vehicles so as to make their progress thus, let none of us all ever idly suppose that some of them are gods, while others are not, or that some are genuine, while others are of a certain kind which it is not permissible to any of us even to express; but let us all declare and say that they are all cogn
