Εἰσὶν οὖν κατὰ ἀλήθειαν συζυγίαι ἕξ· Δίδυμοι Καρκίνῳ, Ταῦρος Λέοντι, Κριὸς Παρθένῳ, Ἰχθύες Ζυγῷ, Ὑδροχόος Σκορπίῳ, Αἰγόκερως Τοξότῃ. ταῦτα γὰρ καὶ ἐκ τοῦ αὐτοῦ τόπου ἀνατέλλει καὶ εἰς τὸν αὐτὸν τόπον δύνει καὶ ὑπὸ τῶν αὐτῶν παραλλήλων ἐμπεριλαμβάνεται κύκλων καὶ ἐξ ἴσου κεῖται πρὸς τὰ τροπικὰ σημεῖα. ἐν τούτοις γὰρ καὶ τὰ μεγέθη τῶν ἡμερῶν καὶ τῶν νυκτῶν ἴσα, καὶ τὰ ἄκρα τῶν γνωμόνων ἐν τοῖς ὡρολογίοις τὰς αὐτὰς γράφει γραμμάς.
