§. 2 * 1.1 Hence some make Juno to be the same with Diana, which they suppose to be the contract of Dea Jana. So Vossius de Idololatr. lib. 2. cap. 25.
The Latin Diana (saies he) is the contract of Diva Jana, or Dea Jana, and both the same with the Moon; which, according to the diversity of its influences, was stiled by the Romans Diana or Juno. For when the Moon was considered with regard to her illumihation, she was stiled Diana: thence the Roman-hunters, who needed light by night
called upon Diana, not on Juno. But when the calefactive or generative influence of the Moon came under consideration, she was called, not Diana, but Juno: whence persons with child invocated Iuno, not Diana.Thus Vossius.
Juno called Di∣ana.
