I've always wondered, then, why the "thirteenth zodiac sign" is Ophiucus 
and not Serpentarius.  All the other zodiac signs are named in Latin, 
why this one in Greek?  I did once actually find, in a deck of cards 
showing the constellations, that constellation labeled "Ophiucus or 
Serpentarius", but really nowhere else.
