(ἀποτελέσματα ) were little figures and images of wax made by magical art among the ancients to receive the influence of the stars, and used as helps in divination.

All divination of this kind was looked upon by the early Christians as idolatry, and for this practice Eusebius Emissenus was condemned as engaging in an art unworthy the character of a Christian bishop.
