294About this the two Ἄρκτοι are turned, which never set;
Of these, the Greeks one Cynosura call,
The other Helice.[171]
The brightest stars,[172] indeed, of Helice are discernible all night,
Which are by us Septentriones call’d.
Cynosura moves about the same pole, with a like number of stars, and ranged in the same order:
This[173] the Phœnicians choose to make their guide
When on the ocean in the night they ride.
Adorned with stars of more refulgent light,
The other[174] shines, and first appears at night.
