AB  - If not the originator of horoscopic astrology, Egypt developed the craft into an art, having a significant impact on the Roman world and the  Roman elite. This article gathers the native Egyptian astrological  documentation, and using the Demotic nomenclature reconstructs the  missing title and text of P. CtYBR inv. 1132(B), a list of Terms which  must have once constituted a section of an Egyptian astrologer's  handbook. Several systems of Terms used for casting personal horoscopes are known  from Ptolemy and other ancient authorities, the most widely accepted  being the sequence labeled 'Egyptian'. As the only ancient manuscript  preserving a table of Terms, P. CtYBR inv. 1132(B) is similar to, but  deviates from the Egyptian sequence. With the reconstruction of the  missing column of the manuscript from data in the first two preserved  columns, there appears a consistent echeloned sequence of planets  similar to the system of Critodemus. Thus P. CtYBR is the Egyptian  system modified by that of Critodemus for mnemonic purposes for native  Egyptians.
