Τίνα μὲν οὖν τρόπον δυνατὸν γίνεται τὸ δι᾿ ἀστρονομίας προγνωστικὸν καὶ ὅτι μέχρι μόνων ἂν φθάνοι τῶν τε κατ’ αὐτὸ τὸ περιέχον συμπτωμάτων καὶ τῶν ἀπὸ τῆς τοιαύτης αἰτίας τοῖς ἀνθρώποις παρακολουθούντων ταῦτα δ’ ἂν εἴη περί τε τὰς ἐξαρχῆς ἐπιτηδειότητας δυνάμεων καὶ πράξεων σώματος καὶ ψυχῆς καὶ τὰ κατὰ καιροὺς αὐτῶν πάθη πολυχρονιότητας τε καὶ ὀλιγοχρονιότητάς, ἔτι δὲ καὶ ὅσα τῶν ἔξωθεν κυρίαν τε καὶ φυ- σικὴν ἔχει πρὸς τὰ πρῶτα συμπλοκὴν ὡς πρὸς τὸ σῶμα μὲν ἡ κτῆσις καὶ ἡ συμβίωσις, πρὸς δὲ τὴν ψυχὴν ἥ τε τιμὴ καὶ τὸ ἀξίωμα, καὶ τὰς τούτων κατὰ καιροὺς τύχας), σχεδὸν ὡς ἐν κεφαλαίοις γέγονεν ἡμῖν δῆλον.
