Saturn as the star of the Sun (1)

Text
Macrobius, Saturnalia 1.22.8:
And Saturn himself, the author of times and seasons (and therefore, by the change of a letter, called Kronos by the Greeks as though for chronos, time), must assuredly be understood to be the sun; since there is handed down a regular succession of first principles, a succession separated by the multitude of times and seasons, made visible by light, bound together in an everlasting bond, and distinguished by our sense of sight, wherein we see everywhere the action of the sun.
