ἄλλως τε ἡ τοιαύτη παρατήρησις νύκτωρ ἴσως δύναται προκόπτειν τοῖς Χαλδαίοις, ὅτε τά τε ἐν τῷ ζῳδιακῷ βλέπεται κύ- κλῳ καὶ οἱ σχηματισμοὶ τῶν ἀστέρων εἰσὶν ἐμφανεῖς. ἐπεὶ οὖν τινὲς καὶ μεθʼ ἡμέραν γεννῶνται, ὅτε οὐδὲν τῶν προειρημένων δυνατόν ἐστι παρασημειοῦσθαι, μόνας δέ, εἰ καὶ ἄρα, τὰς τοῦ ἡλίου κινήσεις, ῥητέον ἐπὶ τινῶν μὲν δυνατὴν εἶναι |τὴν τῶν Χαλδαίων μέθοδον ἐπὶ τινῶν δὲ ἀδύνατον.
