			Pamias and Zucker (2013,<ref>Pamìas, Jordi und Zucker, Arnaud (2013). Ératosthènes de Cyrène: Catastérrismes, Belles Lettres, Paris</ref> 31-33)<blockquote>'''Var. 1:''' According to the story, these were the Dioscuri. They grew up in Laconia, where they distinguished themselves; they surpassed all men in brotherly love; indeed, they quarrelled neither over power nor over anything else, and always acted in unison, wherever they were. When one of them fell in battle against the Athenians, the other called for a truce so that they might be with them. They have ten stars in total.</blockquote><blockquote>'''Var. 2:''' According to the story, these are the Dioscuri. They grew up in Laconia, where they distinguished themselves; they surpassed all men in brotherly love; indeed, they never quarrelled over power or anything else. Zeus, wishing that their solidarity should always be remembered, placed them both in the same spot amongst the constellations, giving them the name of the Twins. The one of the Twins that moves above the Crab has a bright star on his head, one on each shoulder, and one on each knee. Five in all. The Twin next to him has a bright star on his head, one on his left shoulder, one on each nipple, one on his left elbow, one on his hand, one on his left knee, one on each foot, and one below his left foot, called “Propous” (Before the foot). Ten in all.</blockquote>
