[Professor Giles (Adversaria Sinica No. 6, p. 168) objects to my styling
Sse-Ma Ch`ien "Grand Annalist" instead of "Grand Astrologer." I believe
that he was archivist and astrologer at the same time. [OMITTED] originally
means a secretary, a recorder and not an astrologer. Lao Tse is called in
Shi-chi chap. 58:—[OMITTED], the secretary in charge of the
archives of Chou. According to Wang Ch`ung Vol. II, p. 143 Sse Ma Ch`ien
must have held a similar position, being in charge of the records [OMITTED]
[OMITTED].]
