Ἐπειδὴ δὲ τῷ περὶ γάμου τόπῳ καὶ ὁ περὶ τέκνων ἀκολουθεῖ, σκοπεῖν δεήσει τοὺς τῷ κατὰ κορυφὴν τόπῳ ἢ τῷ ἐπιφερομένῳ, τουτέστι τῷ τοῦ. ἀγαθοῦ δαίμονος, προσόντας ἢ συσχηματιζομένους, εἰ δὲ μή, τοὺς τοῖς διαμέτροις αὐτῶν, καὶ σελήνην μὲν καὶ Δία καὶ Ἀφροδίτην πρὸς δόσιν τέκνων λαμβάνειν, ἥλιον δὲ καὶ Ἄρη καὶ Κρόνον πρὸς ἀτεκνίαν ἢ ὀλιγοτεκνίαν, τὸν δὲ τοῦ Ἑρμοῦ, πρὸς ὁπότερον ἂν αὐτῶν τύχῃ συσχηματισθείς, ἐπίκοινον, καὶ ἐπιδοτῆρα μὲν ὅταν ἀνατολικὸς ᾗ, ἀφαιρέ- την δ’ ὅταν δυτικός.
