I cannot find in Authors, that any Comet appeared after that, for about the space of fifty years, viz. not until the year of our Lord 138, when a Star zwas seen blazing 39 nights together in the signs of Aquarius and Pisces. An Earthquake followed, so that the Cities of Nicopolis and Caesarea were swallowed up thereby.
