ABSTRACT
Another calculation about a man who is sick. In this manner shalt thou make thy calculation. Reckon up I the Page 461 numerical values of the letters in the name of the star that ruled the day on which the man fell sick, and those of the letters of the name of the sick man; reckon up both sets of numbers, according to the instructions given above. And in like manner make thy calculation about the thing that is lost (or, stolen), and the man who hath betaken himself to flight. Reckon up the numbers of the name of the thing that is lost, and those of the name of him who hath lost anything; and if the owner's name conquereth, his loss will be discovered, and the thing itself. And if he who is sick, or he who hath lost something, conquereth the star that ruleth the day on which he fell sick, he will rise up from his sickness, and be healed, and the thing that is lost will be found. This calculation is sure, and it hath been well tried.
