      • As seen in Virgo star names, Rolleston claims the "Coptic Aspolia, means station of the desired, the branch (Zech. 4:12)."
        • Allen shows: Aspolia is from Kircher, who in turn took it from the Coptic Egyptians, the Statio amoris, quem in incremento Nili du ostendebant.    This, however, is singularly like H Polias, designating Minerva as guardian of citadels and the State, already seen as a title for this constellation; and there was a Coptic Asphulia in Leo as a moon station.
      • As Allen claims the same stars were included in the 8^th, 9^th, and 10^th manazil of Arabia as Al Jabhah, the Forehead; Al Zubrah, the Mane; and Al Sarfah, the Turn, whereas the Sickle stars were a lunar asterism with the Akkadians as Gis-mes, the Curved Weapon; with the Khorasmians and Sogdians as Khamshish, the Scimetar; but with the Copts as Titefui, the Forehead.    A sickle is a curved weapon.
