When a man has come up from the abode of Trophonios, the priests take him over again and set him on a seat called the seat of Mnemosyne, which is not far from the adyton, and while he is seated there they ask him of all that he has seen and learned.
Then when they have heard it they put him in charge of his friends, who lift him up and carry him to the house of Agathe Tyche and Agathos Daimon where he lodged before, for he is still in the grip of fear and unaware of himself or of those around him.

It is in the Alexandrian middles, Greek-Egyptians, that the Houses were folded back on the zodiacal cycle, and that an artificial system of analogies were set up (12/12), undoubtedly for the needs of the horarist practices.
There are only eight Houses (The houses 3, 5, 8 and 12 of the twelve folded organization don't exist); they follow one another in the direction of the diurnal movement, because they represent the successive phases of the apparent course of the sun starting from its rising; finally they are centered on their "cusps".
Moreover I believe to have found the ancient organization of the octotopos in its initial order: horoskopos, agathos daimon, mesouranema, Theos, dysis, kake tuche, hupgeion and aidou pule, the gate of dead which closes the daily cycle.

 Geta from Augusta Trajana, Agathodaimon?
Whether the person who handled the money (and the persons who ordered it made) called it Glykon or Agathodaimon or both interchangeably is what I cannot ascertain, though opinions can be found.
The fact is that agathos daimon means just that, and the household snake is certainly an agathos daimon (while Glykon purported to be more and other than that) suggests that ANY of the four-coiled snakes could be referred to as an agathos daimon, while at Alexandria they had a specific cult of their own.
The Danube region more likely shared the Pontic cult, but we don't know which of the unlabeled images were referred to as Glykon and had a sub-Asklepieian cult.
