c9.s2.140

³ The main dispute has been as to whether Hipparchus did discover the precession of the equinoxes or whether he took the discovery from the Babylonian Kidinnu (Kidenas), *c.* 300 B.C. I need not go into this; see P. Schnabel, *Berossos* pp. 237–9, and the literature in Gundel *op. cit.* pp. 25, 26, 98–9, 101; for later references see last note. On balance, opinion now verges toward the claim of Kidinnu.
