That still leaves a pretty extensive lot list in the previous sections leading up to that point. Yeah, Chris, that's right. (I see you're among the few who read the critical edition itself. ) There are plenty of lots from the text prior this insertion, and they cannot be denied to be genuine, from Hellenistic perspective. Actually, it seems to be a very good probe to concentrate on lots when investigating textual transmission between authors. At least, one good probe, which unveils a great deal of stuffs.

I searched the Warburg electronic library and found Greenbaum's translation of Olympiodorus, but no Laurentianus version. Thanks.

18 by Levente Laszlo Hi Curtis, no need for Warburg copies, just check the critical edition made by de Boer, Leipzig 1962. And here's a link to CCAG 1 (uploaded by Chris Brennan) to see the contents of Laurentianus, pp. 60-72. The text is referenced on p. 68 (f. 130) and is partially edited on pp. 167-170.

As an update to this old query, I just found one text witness with a variant reading: instead of the Lot of Horses, it has the Lot of the Mother-in-Law. Does anyone know of a Greek or Arabic source mentioning such a lot? https://astrology.martingansten.com/ Quote Sun Mar 27, 2016 4:06 pm
