Oculus
In ancient times, since the bow of a vessel was the sanctuary of the patron deity, the oculus (a round whole in the bow) was an "eye" that supposedly enabled the ship to find its path through the sea.
Quia oculus videt alia, se non videt. At quis est ille oculus, qui ita videt alia ut et se videat? Ille qui in se videt omnia, quique est omnia idem.
Astrologer after astrologer was summoned to advise him, and several of them - an Egyptian called Serapio, one called Ascletion, and Larginus Proculus-told the Emperor that he would not live long, and that his successor would be Macrinus, a prefect.
