Where this obfervation on Ardlurus was made, is 
not faid; we may luppofe it to have been at Aicra, 
where Hefiod’s father lived, as he tells us himfelf (id). 
But as the fituation of this place is not very well 
known ( 17), we may, without any fenfible error, take 
Athens, whofe latitude is made, by the bed modern 
geographers, 3 8° f ' north. 
In the figure, then, here, 
we have M O = the decli- 
nation of Ardlurus, as be- 
fore, = 34 0 22' 40". 
A G = the height of the 
pole at Athens, =38° y', 
the complement of which, 
MKO, = DKC = 5i°yy. 
Therefore 
0 / // 
Tangent M O = 34 22 40 9.8352480 
— R. + cot. MKO = ji £5 00 9.8941114 
Sine KO = 32 25 10 9*7293594 
the afcenfional difference ; which fubtradled from the 
right afcenfion before found, gives the oblique afcen- 
fion sm 148° 1 2'.
