⁸¹³ Vide E J. Webb in 'The names of the stars' (1952) p 189 and in Journal of Hellenistic Studies, vol 48 p. 66; C V Maclean in 'Babylonian astrology and its relation to the Old Testament' p. 7, in J of Near Eastern Studies vol. IV at p. 26 Prof Neugebauer averred that the Mesopotamian origin of the astrological omina cannot be doubted, but in 'Exact Sciences in Antiquity' p 164 he appears to modify his position by saying that only the original impetus to horoscopic astrology in Greece came from Babylon and that its actual development must be considered as an important component of Hellenistic Science In the same journal at p. 15 he does not know how horoscopic astrology in Greece originated from the totally different omen type astrology of the preceding millenium.
