οὕτως καὶ ἐκ τῆς πρὸς τοὺς ἀστέρας καὶ τὰ δωδεκατημόρια φυσικῆς τῶν κατὰ μέρος κλιμάτων συνοικειώσεως ἰδιοτρόπους ἄν τις εὕροι φύσεις παρ’ ἑκάστοις, καὶ αὐτὰς δὲ ὡς ἐπίπαν, οὐχ ὡς καὶ καθ’ ἕνα ἕκαστον πάντως ἐνυπαρχούσας. ἀναγκαῖον οὖν, ἐφ’ ὅσον ἂν εἴη χρήσιμον, πρὸς τὰς κατὰ μέρος ἐπισκέψεις κεφαλαιωδῶς ἐπελθεῖν. τεσσάρων δὴ τριγωνικῶν σχημάτων ἐν· τῷ ξῳδιακῷ θεωρουμένων δέδεικται διὰ τῶν ἔμπροσθεν ἡμῖν, ὅτι τὸ μὲν κατὰ τὸν Κριὸν καὶ τὸν Λέοντα καὶ τὸν Τοξότην βορρολιβικόν τέ ἐστι καὶ οἰκοδεσποτεῖται μὲν προηγουμένως ὑπὸ τοῦ τοῦ Διὸς διὰ τὸ βόρειον, συνοικοδεσποτεῖται δὲ καὶ ὑπὸ τοῦ τοῦ Ἄρεως διὰ τὸ λιβικόν·
