Translation:
A fourfold statue because of the 4 seasons. Some form it having a key in the right hand, as a beginning of time and an opening of the year and [its] door. Others [form it] holding in the right hand 300, and in the left 65, just like the year. From this Longinus insists on interpreting him as Aionoarios, as if "father of the eon."[1]
Greek Original:
Ἰαννουάριος: ἄγαλμα τετράμορφον διὰ τὰς δ# τροπάς. οἱ δὲ πλάττουσιν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ δεξιᾷ χειρὶ κλεῖδα κατέχοντα, ὡς ἀρχὴν τοῦ χρόνου καὶ ἄνοιξιν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ καὶ θυρεόν. ἕτεροι δὲ τῇ δεξιᾷ τ#, τῇ δὲ ἀριστερᾷ ξε# κατέχοντα, ὥσπερ τὸν ἐνιαυτόν. ὅθεν καὶ ὁ Λογγῖνος Αἰωνοάριον αὐτὸν ἑρμηνεῦσαι βιάζεται, ὡσανεὶ αἰῶνος πατέρα.
