Not content with the zodiac, Bill added Aquila and Apus (the Bird of Paradise) to Allen's Star Names.
Meanwhile, my little project of the Letters of Synesius has reached the year 411. Among the more interesting letters are Ep.148, in which he offers an idyllic description of his country estate, and Ep.73, a description of the devastations caused by war.
On a related (=military) note: Bill put a nice article on the Three Triumphs of Pompey in the Antiquaries' Shoebox.
And now, I'm off to bed. :wink:
