through the middle of the _great Bear_, and the middle of _Cancer_, and the
neck of _Hydrus_, and the Star between the Poop and Mast of _Argo_, and the
Tayl of the _South Fish_, and through the middle of _Capricorn_, and of
_Sagitta_, and through the neck and right wing of the _Swan_, and the left
hand of _Cepheus_; and that he drew the Equinoctial _Colure_, through the
left hand of _Arctophylax_, and along the middle of his Body, and cross the
middle of _Chelæ_, and through the right hand and fore-knee of the
_Centaur_, and through the flexure of _Eridanus_ and head of _Cetus_, and
the back of _Aries_ a-cross, and through the head and right hand of
_Perseus_.

Now _Chiron_ delineated σχηματα ολυμπου the _Asterisms_, as the ancient
Author of _Gigantomachia_, cited by [72] _Clemens Alexandrinus_ informs us:

_ORION_ the son of _Neptune_, or as some say, the grandson of _Minos_, with
