ἐν δὲ τούτοις πρῶτον μὲν ποῖον ὦμον τοῦ Κενταύρου σημειοῦται, ἔστιν εἰπεῖν, ὡς οὐδαμῶς χωρὶς τοῦ ἑτέρου ὁ εἷς αὐτῶν ἠστέρισται, ἀλλʼ ἀμφότεροι, 〈οὐδʼ ἀμ- φότεροι〉 ἅμα μεσουρανοῦσιν, ὥστε ἀδιάφορον ἢ ἐπὶ τοῦ ἑνὸς εἰπεῖν ἢ ἐπʼ ἀμφοτέρων οὕτως· ἱκανὸν γὰρ διεστήκασιν οἱ ὦμοι τοῦ Κενταύρου ἀπʼ ἀλλήλων ὡς ἀπʼ ἀνατολῆς πρὸς δύσιν. ἐὰν δὲ ὁ ὦμος τοῦ Κενταύρου ἴσον ἀπʼ ἀνατολῆς καὶ δύσεως ἀπέχῃ, περ ἐστὶ τὸ αὐτὸ τῷ ἀπὸ ἑσπερίης, ὃ δὴ γίνεται μεσουρανοῦντος αὐτοῦ, κἂν ἐπιγένηται τὰ ὅμοια σημεῖα τοῖς ἐπὶ τοῦ Θυτηρίου, τότε εὖρον, ἀλλʼ οὐ νότον δεῖ προσδέχεσθαι. Χωρὶς δὲ τούτων ὁλοσχερῶς ἀγνοεῖ, λέγων τὸν Κένταυρον ὑπὸ τῷ Σκορπίῳ καὶ ταῖς Χηλαῖς κεῖσθαι· ὅλος γὰρ σχεδὸν ὑπὸ τῇ Παρθένῳ κεῖται, πλὴν ὅσον ὁ δεξιὸς ὦμος καὶ ἡ δεξιὰ χεὶρ καὶ τὰ ἐμπρόσθια
