The story is also found in Pliny NH, X, 3, where it is added that Aeschylus remained out-doors that day, because an oracle predicted that he would be killed by the fall of a (tortoise’s) house.[1465]VIII, 5.[1466]VIII, 22.[1467]IX, 1.[1468]X, 40.[1469]XI, 2 and 16.[1470]XII, 21.[1471]XIII, 3.[1472]XIV, 19.[1473]C. Iulii Solini Collectanea rerum memorabilium iterum recensuitTh. Mommsen, Berlin, 1895, pp. xxxi-li.

Mommsen could give no source for these statements concerning Sardinia, and they do not appear to be in Pliny. But it is from a footnote in the English translation of theNatural Historyby Bostock and Riley (II, 208, citing Dalechamps, and Lemaire, III, 201) that I learn that the laughter which Pliny (NH, VII, 52) speaks of as a premonitory sign of death in cases of madness, “is not the indication of mirth, but what has been termed therisus Sardonicus, the ‘Sardonic laugh,’ produced by a convulsive action of the muscles of the face.” This form of death may be what Solinus has in mind. Agricola in his work on metallurgy and mines still believes in the poisonous ants of Sardinia;De re metallica, VI, near close, pp. 216-7, in Hoover’s translation, 1912.[1482]Mommsen (1895), p. 57.[1483]Ibid., p. 39.[1484]Mommsen (1895), p. 82.[1485]Ibid., pp. 45-46.[1486]Ibid., pp. 13, 68.[1487]Ibid., pp. 18, 41, 159.[1488]Ibid., p. 50, and elsewhere, “siderum disciplinam.”[1489]Ibid., p. 5, “mathematicorum nobilissimus.” Solinus probably takes this from Varro, who, as Plutarch informs us in hisLife of Romulus, asked “Tarrutius, his familiar acquaintance, a good philosopher and mathematician,” to calculate the horoscope of Romulus. See above, p. 209.[1490]Mommsen (1905), pp. 75-6.[1491]Ibid., p. 66.[1492]PW, for the problem of his identity and further bibliography.[1493]I have used the text and English translation of A. T. Cory,The Hieroglyphics of Horapollo Nilous, 1840. Philip’s Greek is so bad that some would date it in the fourteenth or fifteenth century.

The work was translated into Latin by the fifteenth century at latest; see Vienna 3255, 15th century, 82 fols., Horapollo, Hieroglyphicon latine versorum liber I et libri II introductio cum figuris calamo exaratis et coloratis.[1494]I, 1; II, 61; II, 65; II, 36 and 59; II, 57; II, 83; I, 34-5; II, 57; II, 44 and 39 and 76-7 and 85-6 and 88.[1495]II, 45.[1496]II, 46; Aelian says the same, however, as we stated above.[1497]II, 64.[1498]NH, XXVIII, 27.[1499]II, 72.[1500]I, 6.

See below, II, 220-21.The stars are probably fifteen in number because Ptolemy distinguished that many stars of first magnitude. Dante,Paradiso, XIII, 4, also speaks of “quindici stelle.” See Orr (1913), pp. 154-6, where Ptolemy’s descriptions of the fifteen stars of first magnitude and their modern names are given.[1511]Digby 67, late 12th century, fol. 69r, “Prologus de tribus Mercuriis.” They are also identified by other medieval writers. Some would further identify with Enoch Nannacus or Annacus, king of Phrygia, who foresaw Deucalion’s flood and lamented. See J. G. Frazer (1918), I, 155-6, and P. Buttmann,Mythologus, Berlin, 1828-1829, and E. Babelon,La tradition phrygienne du déluge, inRev. d. l’hist. d. religs., XXIII (1891), which he cites.Roger Bacon stated that some would identify Enoch with “the great Hermogenes, whom the Greeks much commend and laud, and they ascribe to him all secret and celestial science.” Steele (1920) 99.[1512]R.

But it is from a footnote in the English translation of theNatural Historyby Bostock and Riley (II, 208, citing Dalechamps, and Lemaire, III, 201) that I learn that the laughter which Pliny (NH, VII, 52) speaks of as a premonitory sign of death in cases of madness, “is not the indication of mirth, but what has been termed therisus Sardonicus, the ‘Sardonic laugh,’ produced by a convulsive action of the muscles of the face.” This form of death may be what Solinus has in mind. Agricola in his work on metallurgy and mines still believes in the poisonous ants of Sardinia;De re metallica, VI, near close, pp. 216-7, in Hoover’s translation, 1912.
