  • Costard, George. The use of astronomy in history and chronology exemplified in an inquiry into the fall of the stone into the Aegospotamos; said to have been foretold by Anaxagoras.

That what he saw was a comet at the time of the battle of Salamis: and that this battle was probably fought the year before Christ 478; or two years later than it is commonly fixed by chronologers.
