1**Stub.** No public-domain English translation has been imported.
**What survives.** A papyrus roll from the Louvre (P. Paris 1; the *Papyrus parisinus*), copied in Egypt around the middle of the 2nd century BCE. The text is an astronomical primer drawing on the lost works of Eudoxus of Cnidus and naming Hermes as one of its authorities — hence its inclusion in the technical Hermetica.
