believe_v the_o number_n of_o year_n that_o the_o college_n of_o chaldaean_n affirm_v that_o they_o have_v spend_v in_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o world_n say_v diodorus_n for_o till_o the_o

the_o chaldaean_n that_o they_o say_v that_o the_o sun_n and_o moon_n run_v through_o the_o twelve_o sign_n of_o the_o zodiac_n that_o the_o sun_n end_v his_o course_n in_o a_o year_n the_o moon_n
