It is now possible to trace the medieval symbols for at least four of the five planets to forms that occur in some of the latest papyrus horoscopes ([ P.Oxy. ] 4272, 4274, 4275 [...]). Mercury's is a stylized caduceus.
although in the case of Venus the libration in longitude due to the eccentricity of the orbit amounts to only 47' on either side of the mean position, in the case of Mercury it amounts to 23° 39'
Marius noted in the dedication from June 30, 1612, in the Prognosticon auf 1613 "that Mercury is illuminated by the Sun in the same way as the Venus and the Moon" and reports his observations of the brightness.

Below this is the star of Mercury (it is called Stilbon by the Greeks), which surveys the planet in about a year, and never departs from the sun further than one sign, both in its preceding and following directions.]
