Abbrivation in classica text &c. ?

What does, [FONT=&quot]&c. mean when used in classical texts?

"[/FONT] [FONT=&quot]Being well versed therein, observe the Nature of your Question propounded, and give the [/FONT][FONT=&quot]R[/FONT][FONT=&quot], [/FONT][FONT=&quot]the Ascendant, and his Lord, &c."[/FONT]

&c. = Latin et cetera This translates as "and the rest". In modern English you see it as etc. The Renaissance astrologers often used untranslated Latin words when writting English, but most of the astrology books that they studied were in Latin, and the only translations available were those they made themselves. This language barrier has made classical and medieval astrology unavailable until recently.

thanks!
