";the moon"; : P Hib I. 27.42 (calendar—B.C. 301–240) χρῶντ [αι ] ταῖς κατὰ σελήνη [ν ] ἡμέραις οἱ ἀστρολό [γοι, where the editors think that there is a loose mode of speaking of ";the days of the month"; without any real reference to the moon : see their note. The word occurs in the horoscopes BGU III. 957.3 (B.C. 10), PSI IV. 312.5 (A.D. 345), and in P Ryl I. 63.4 (iii/A.D.), where, in an imaginary astrological dialogue with Plato, a certain Egyptian prophet connects the moon with the left eye—Σελήνη ὁ εὐώνυμος. For the moon as the female principle of all physical life see P Osl I. p. 127, and for the importance of the rising moon, see ib. p. 93.
In P Leid Ci. 14 (B.C. 163) (= I. p. 118, UPZ i. p. 353) mention is made of the festival τὰ Σεληνιεῖα (cf. Mayser Gr. i. pp. 75, 107, 448), and in the temple inventory BGU I. 162.1 (ii/iii A.D.) we hear of ἄλλα σεληνάρια μεικρὰ χρυσᾶ β ̄, by which Preisigke (Wörterb. s.v.) understands golden keys made in the form of a half moon. Hatzidakis (Gr. p. 59) notes that the word σελήνη is not now in popular use, the terms φεγγάρι and τὸ φέγγος taking its place. This does not, however, apply to the derivative σεληνιάζομαι, ";am brought under the influence of the moon,"; ";am epileptic,"; which is found everywhere, cf. Matthew 4:24; Matthew 17:15.
