Βόρειος Λίνος

part of Cords; corresponding to ο+π+η+ρ Piscium when defined as 4 stars (Ptolemy); likely corresponding to the same 4 stars + α Piscium (Knot) when defined as 5 stars (Geminus)

Οἱ δὲ ἀπὸ τῶν οὐραίων μερῶν τῶν Ἰχθύων κατὰ τὸ ἑξῆς κείμενοι ἀστέρες Λίνοι προσαγορεύεται· εἰσί δὲ ἐν μὲν τῷ νοτίῳ λίνῳ ἀστέρες θʹ, ἐν δὲ τῷ βορείῳ λίνῳ ἀστέρες εʹ· ὁ δὲ ἐν ἄκρῳ τῷ λίνῳ κείμενος λαμπρὸς ἀστὴρ Σύνδεσμος προσαγορεύτεται.

‘The stars lying from the tail parts of Pisces in a row are called Cords; in the southern cord there are 9 stars, in the northern cord there are 5 stars; the bright star lying on the tip of the cord is called Knot.’
