Aquarii vero pisciumque punctis uti gradibus scandens orbiculi foramen in ariete tangendo octavam partem aqua temperate salienti praestat aequinoctiales horas. ab ariete per tauri et geminorum spatia ad summa cancri puncta partis octavae foramen se tympani versationibus peragens et in altitudinem eo rediens viribus extenuatur, et ita tardius fluendo dilatat morando spatia et efficit horas in cancri signo solstitiales. a cancro cum proclinat et peragit per leonem et virginem ad librae partis octavae puncta revertendo et gradatim corripiendo spatia contrahit horas, et ita perveniens ad puncta librae aequinoctiales rursus reddit horas.
