If I remember well, I found for Mark some pages of Italian version of Lydus- the ones about the colors of comets - and translated for him in English.

Then I put it in my blog.

I don't know if Mark bought the book afterwards. I will go against the tide, but it is not the kind of book one can use everyday in my opinion.

No. Not because I lost interest but due to my finances taking a bit of a downward spiral due to a redundancy. Unfortunately, I have sustained quite a drop in income over the last couple of years and I have therefore had to go cold Tukey on my astrology book buying addiction.

True but the text seems to preserve some ancient divinatory material that was very intriguing.
