οἱ μὲν οὖν δοτῆρες ἁπλῶς μὲν οὕτως κείμενοι καὶ κατὰ μόνας ὄντες μόναχὰ διδόασι τέκνα, ἐν δισώμοις δὲ δισσὰ καὶ ἐν θηλυκοῖς ζῳδίοις. ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ἐν τοῖς πολυσπέρμοις, οἷον Ἰχθύσι καὶ Καρκίνῳ καὶ Σκορπίῳ, δισσὰ ἢ καὶ πλείονα, καὶ ἠρρενω· μένοι τοῖς τε ζῳδίοις καὶ τοῖς πρὸς ἥλιον σχηματισμοῖς ἄρρενα, τεθηλυσμένοι δὲ θήλεα, καθυπερτερηθέντες δὲ ὑπὸ τῶν κακοποιῶν καὶ ἐν στειρώδεσι ζῳδίοις τυχόντες, οἷον Λέοντι Παρθένῳ, διδόασι μέν, οὐκ ἐπὶ καλῷ δὲ οὐδὲ ἐπὶ διαμονῇ.
