- zone; celestial band
Meaning
The stars oversee seven luminous zones at VII.8. The plural supplies encircling regions in a celestial description, not clothing belts worn by the stars. The line does not enumerate the zones or identify each with a named heavenly body, so a detailed planetary scheme would exceed its explicit information.
