ἐν δὲ ταῖς ἐχομέναις ἡμέραις ἀεὶ τοῦ ἀστέρος ἐνωρότερον μᾶλλον καὶ ἐνωρότερον προανατέλλοντος, ὅταν τοσοῦτον προανατέλλῃ, ὥςτε θεωρηθῆναι τὴν τοῦ ἄστρου ἐπιτολὴν ἐκπεφευγότος αὐτοῦ τὰς αὐγὰς τοῦ ἡλίου, τότε λέγεται ὁ ἀστὴρ οὗτος ἑῴαν τὰς αὐγὰς τοῦ ἡλίου, τότε λέγεται ὁ ἀστὴρ αοὗτος ἑῴαν φαινομένην ἐπιτολὴν πεποιῆσθαι. [διʼ ἣν αἰτίαν καὶ ἐν τοῖς ψηφίσμασιν αἱ φαινόμεναι τῶν ἄστρων ἐπιτολαὶ προλέγονται· αἱ μὲν γὰρ ἀληθιναὶ ἀθεώρητοί εἰσι καὶ ἀπαρατήρητοι, αἱ δὲ φαινόμεναι καὶ προλέγονται καὶ παρατηροῦνται.]
