καὶ τροπικὰ μέν ἐν οἷς γινόμενος ὁ ἥλιος μεταλλάσσει καὶ ποιεῖ τοῦ περι- έχοντος τροπάς, οἷόν ἐστι ζῴδιον ὅ τε κριὸς καὶ τὸ τόύτου διάμετρον, ὁ ζυγός, αἰγόκερώς τε καὶ καρκίνος· ἐν κριῷ μὲν γὰρ ἐαρινὴ γίνεται τροπή, ἐν αἰγοκέρῳ δὲ χειμερινή, ἐν καρκίνῳ δὲ θερινὴ καὶ ἐν ζυγῷ φθινοπωρινή. στερεὰ δὲ ὑπειλήφασι ταῦρόν τε καὶ τὸ διαμετροῦν, τουτέστι σκορπίον, λέοντά τε καὶ ὑδρηχόον.
