Hipparchus' content

As we pore through what is preserved of Hipparchus, Paleojudaica points to the paper. Basically it's northern.

The palimpset - of what we got - concerns "the Crown (stephanos)" in the Boreal north exclusively. The paper goes on to a second look at the Aratus Latinus which translates other parts of Hipparchus' catalog despite not quite understanding it. That's Draco, Ursa Minor, Ursa Major (here we get to use the Latin). Draco has the north pole of the ecliptic today but Hipparchus likely didn't care. Anyway none of it is zodiacal nor subzodiacal.

It follows that hopes of spotting faint ecliptic planets or asteroids must be postponed. Hipparchus would have loved to spot anything like this, so here absence of evidence must count as evidence of absence. Of record, that is.

As for proper-motion (read: Alpha Centauri), or the appearance of stars as might look different today (read: Betelgeuse) - those famed examples are subzodiacal, I think.
