Achilles Isagoge 13 p. 133 in Petav. Uranol. τοὺς ἀστέρας δὲ ζῷα εἶναι, οὕτε Ἀναξαγόρᾳ οὔτε Δημοκρίτῳ δοκεῖ οὔτε Ἐπικούρῳ ἐν τῇ πρὸς Ἡρόδοτον ἐπιτομῇ, Πλάτωνι δὲ δοκεῖ ἐν Τιμαίῳ καὶ Ἀριστοτέλει ἐν δευτέρῳ περὶ οὐρανοῦ καὶ Χρυσίππῳ ἐν τῷ περὶ προνοίας καὶ θεῶν. οἱ δὲ Ἐπικούρειοί φασι μὴ εἶναι ζῴδια, ἐπεὶ ὑπὸ σωμάτων συνέχεται, οἱ δὲ Στωϊκοὶ τὸ ἀνάπαλιν. Philo de provid. II § 74 (p. 94 Aucher). Item sine labore ac defatigatione est eorum (scil. stellarum fixarum) circumactio, primum utique ob proximitatem ad divinam naturam; ac deinde etiam propter ignis virtutem, quae nequit debilitari, eo quod optima esca instructa sit, neque tempore lassari. Aëtius Plac. II 15, 2 (περὶ τάξεως ἀστέρων) οἱ δὲ ἄλλοι Στωϊκοὶ πρὸ τῶν ἑτέρων τοὺς ἑτέρους (sc. ἀστέρας) ἐν ὕψει καὶ βάθει. Aëtius Plac. II 17, 4. Ἡράκλειτος καὶ οἱ Στωϊκαὶ τρέφεσθαι τοὺς ἀστέρας ἐκ τῆς ἐπιγείου ἀναθυμιάσεως. Servius ad Verg. Aeneid. X 272. cometae autem latine crinitae appellantur. et Stoici dicunt has stellas esse ultra XXXII. Diogenes Laërt. VII 152. ἶριν δὲ εἶναι αὐγὰς ἀφ’ ὑγρῶν νεφῶν ἀνακεκλασμένας (additur accuratior Posidonii explicatio). κομήτας τε καὶ πωγωνίας καὶ λαμπαδίας πυρὰ εἶναι ὑφεστῶτα πάχους ἀέρος εἰς τὸν αἰθερώδη τόπον ἀνενεχθέντος σέλας δὲ πυρὸς ἀθρόου ἔξαψιν ἐν ἀέρι φερομένου ταχέως καὶ φαντασίαν μήκους ἐμφαίνοντος.
