Οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ πάντων τούτων τὰ ἐπὶ ἑκάστης γε- νέσεως κυριεύοντα ζῴδια πρὸς τὴν τῶν ἀποτελεσμάτων ἔκβασιν, καὶ ἀφʼ ὧν μάλιστα τὰς προαγορεύσεις ποιοῦν- ται, τέσσαρά φασιν εἶναι τὸν ἀριθμόν, ἅπερ κοινῷ μὲν ὀνόματι κέντρα καλοῦσιν, ἰδιαίτερον δὲ τὸν μὲν ὡροσκό- πον τὸ δὲ μεσουράνημα τὸ δὲ δῦνον τὸ δὲ ὑπὸ γῆν καὶ ἀντιμεσουράνημα, ὅ καὶ αὐτὸ μεσουράνημά ἐστιν.
