But where is the problem? The Diary says that at the end of month

VI Venus was in Virgo.

No, it says Venus was in Leo.


I don't have volume I of Sachs/Hunger's edition of the Diaries at
hand, but if the citation given in
http://www.livius.org/aj-al/alexande...ander_t40.html
is correct, the summary for month VI in the Diary says

"Venus was in Leo, at the end of the month in Virgo"

which seems to indicate clearly that during part of the month
Venus was in Leo, but by the end of the month it had progressed
into Virgo.

Bye,
Thomas
