 doors she stood up, and she said, moreover: "Now, seemingly, next 

 in order, there will be a star [spot] present here and there in many 

 places where the sky is present [i. e., on the surface of the sky]." 

 Now, truly, it thus came to pass. So now, there out of doors where 

 she stood she there pointed and told, moreover, what kind of thing 

 those stars would be called. Toward the north there are certain 

 stars, severally present there, of which she said: "They-are-pursuing- 

 the-bear they will be called." So now, next in order, she said another 

 thing: "There will be a large star in existence, and it will rise cus-

 the-day.'" Now, again she pointed, and again she said: "That cluster 

 of stars yonder will be called 'the Group Visible.' And they, verily,
