οἱ δὲ λόφοι ἐφʼ ὧν αἱ ἀστεροσκοπίαι γίνονται, οὐχ οἱ αὐτοὶ πάντοτε δια- μένουσιν, ἀλλὰ κατὰ μοῖραν ἑτεροιουμένου καὶ μεταβάλ- λοντος τοῦ κόσμου ἤτοι κατακλυσμοῖς ἐξ ὄμβρων ἢ σει- σμοῖς γῆς ἢ ἄλλοις τισὶ τοιούτοις καθήμασιν ἐνοχλοῦνται, ὥστε καὶ παρὰ τὴν τούτων ἐξαλλαγὴν μὴ τὰς αὐτὰς τῶν ἀστέρων γίνεσθαι παρατηρήσεις, ἀλλʼ ἑτέραν μὲν τοῖς ἀφʼ ὕψους συμβαίνειν παρατήρησιν, διαφέρουσαν δὲ τοῖς ἀπὸ χθαμαλοῦ βλέπρουσι, καὶ τὸ ἐκείνοις ὀφθὲν μὴ πάν- τως καὶ τοῖς ἄλλοις τεθεωρῆσθαι.
