Translation: Of Diospolis or Sebennytus in Egypt. [He wrote] Enquiries into Nature,[1] Apotelesmatica in verse, and other astrological works.[2]
Greek Original:Μάνεθως, Διοσπόλεως τῆς Αἰγύπτου ἢ Σεβεννύτης. Φυσιολογικά, Ἀποτελεσματικὰ δι' ἐπῶν: καὶ ἄλλα τινὰ ἀστρονομούμενα.
Notes:
See further commentary in the notes to the previous lemma (
mu 142).
[1] Also known as the
ἐπιτομὴ τῶν φυσικῶν ; cf. Diog. Laert. prooem. 10.
[2] The editio princeps of the
Apotelesmatica was published by Jakob Gronov in 1698 (cf. Naiditch pp.104-6). I think it likely that
ἀστρονομούμενα here means astrological rather than astronomical writings.
