Τὸ δὲ αὐτὸ ὑποληπτέον καὶ περὶ τὴν 〈τοῦ⟩ Κυνὸς ἐπιτολὴν γίνεσθαι. πάντες μὲν γὰρ ὑπολαμβάνουσιν ἰδίαν δύναμιν ἔχειν τὸν ἀστέρα καὶ παραίτιον γίνεσθαι τῆς τῶν καυμάτων ἐπιτάσεως ἅμα συνεπιτέλλοντα τῷ ἡλίῳ. τοῦτο δ’ οὐκ ἔστιν οὕτως ἔχον. ἀλλ’ ἐπεὶ κατὰ τὸν πυρωδέστατον καιρὸν τοῦ ἐνιαυτοῦ οὗτος ὁ ἀστὴρ ἐπέτελλε, τῇ τούτου φάσει ἐσημειώσαντο τὴν πρὸς τὸ καῦμα μεταβολὴν τοῦ ἀέρος.
