This Week in Google Alerts: story with Gaiman

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I don't think so.  Most sundials we see today were made in modern times. 
They might have archaic mottoes put on them.  Probably the same would be 
true of sundials in Severian's time.
