Plinii copiosa de prognosticis e Luna dissertatio Proxima sunt jure Luna præsagia. Quartam eam maxime observat Egyptus. Si splendens exorta puro nitore fulsit, serenitatem ; si rubicunda, ventos ; si nigra, pluvias portendere creditur. In quinta cornua ejus obtusa pluviam; erecta et infesta ventos semper significant, quarta tamen maxime. Cornu ejus septentrionale acuminatum atque rigidum, illum præsagit ventum. Inferius austrum; utraque recta noctem ventosam. Si quartum orbis rutilus cingit, ventos et imbres præmonebit. Apud Varronem ita est, Si quarto die Luna erit directa, magnam tempestatem in mari præsagiet, nisi si coronam circa se habebit et eum synceram; quoniam eo modo non ante plenum Lunam hyematurum ostendit. Si pleni lunio per dimidium pura erit, dies serenos significabit; si rutila, ventos; nigrescens imbres.-Nascens Luna, si cornu superiore

Αὐτὰρ ἐπὴν τριτόωσαν ὅλος περὶ κύκλος ἑλίσσῃ,

(64-66.) Sensus est ; cum Lunam
tertio ortu circulus rubens circumambit,
tempestatem magnam significat; quum
rubentins coloratus est circulus, majo-
rem tempestatem. Phænomena illa
lurida, quæ circuli, halones, corona
vocantur: cum circa Lunam aut solem
videntur, tempestatem pluviorum prog-
nosticare omnibus cœli contemplatori-
bus satis notum est. Sed cur hæc tri-
duanum magis quam alias Luuæ phases
comitantia tempestatem præsagirent,
ratio minime apparet. Plinius observat:
Si quartum orbis rutilus cingit, ventos et
imbres præmonebit.
I Idem memorat
circa solem versicolorem circulum,
visum quo die Augustus intravit urbem
post obitum fratris ad nomen ingens
capessendum: 2 neque Seneca hujus rei
obliviscitur. In commemorandis hujus-
ce generis phænomenis, Græci et
Romani scriptores multis nominibus
utebantur; per quorum promiscuum
usum multa et diversa phænomena con-
funduntur. Græci aλwa seu dλoves et
κύκλους vocabant quæ Romani coronas,
circos, circulos, halyces, et orbes nomi.

navere ; differentiam autem quæ existit inter coronas (quæ apud nos sunt quasi lucidi disci,) atque halones (qui annuli formam habent,) exprimere neglexerunt.

(67-78.) Iterum ad Lunam revertens docet poeta, ex ejus colore, signa capessere cujusvis mensis. Cum Luna pura luce nitet, serenitatem denunciat: cum rubet, ventum: cum obscuro lumine fulget, pluviam præmonet. De quo satis supra. v. 70. Per πάντῃ καθαρὴ (omnino pura,) intelligatur clara Lunæ facies, nulla radiorum per aera refrac tione colorata, aut obscura, neque in ulla orbis parte nubibus obfuscata. Sic Horat.

Ut pura nocturno renidet

Luna mari. 4.

Et Virgil. in Geor. supra cit. Καθαρὸν proprio sensu purgatum significat, a verbo καθαίρω, purgo. Ut purum a πυρὸς vel e verbo Tupów, vox ex ignis purificatione orta. Eodem modo nostra familiaris Bran new ab Anglo Sax. brennan urere derivatur; ut monet I.H. Tookius in Ἔπεα Πτερόεντα, seu Div. Pur. 71. ἐρευθομένη.
