νῦν δὲ οὐ γίνεται τοῦτο, ἀλλἱ προανατέλλοντες ἀστέρες ἐν ταῖς ἐχομέναις νυξὶ πλεῖον ἀεὶ καὶ πλεῖον ἀπὸ τῆς ἀνατολῆς ἀπέχοντες διάστημα θεωροῦνται, ὥςτε ⟨ἐν τῷ⟩ μηνιαίῳ χρόνῳ ζῴδιον ὅλον προανατέλλειν τοῦ ἡλίου τὸ πρότερον ὑπάρχον ἐν ταῖς αὐγαῖς τοῦ ἡλίου. [ἀεὶ γὰρ τὸ μὲν ἑπόμενον ζῴδιον ὑπὸ τοῦ ἡλίου ἀθεώρητόν ἐστι διὰ τὰς αὐγὰς τοῦ ἡλίου, τὸ δὲ προηγούμενον αὐτοῦ θεωρεῖται.]
