**What survives.** A short Hermetic *brontologion* — a thunder-omen treatise, predicting events for each of the twelve months according to the day of the month on which thunder is heard. Several Greek versions circulate under Hermes' name in Byzantine astrological miscellanies.

**Editions.** Greek text in *Catalogus Codicum Astrologorum Graecorum* (CCAG), e.g. vol. VIII.4 (Brussels: Lamertin, 1921), pp. 175-180; vol. IV (1903), pp. 110-122. These CCAG volumes are in the public domain but no continuous English translation has been published.
