ABSTRACT
When thou wishest to see (i.e., find out) about two people who are closely associated, or about the love of a man for his wife, or about a slave and his lord, or about the love between two friends, take: the first letters of the names of both of them, and observe to which of the Malwashe and to which of the Planets they belong. If they belong to the Malwashe which have friendship with each other, and if they belong also to the Malwashe which see and hear each other, the friendship [between any two of the persons mentioned above] prospereth (or, is excellent). And if they (i.e., the letters) belong to the Malwashe which are not associated in friendship, I and which Page 5~5 do not hear each other, or are not seen by each other, [the persons mentioned above] are separated in friendship from each other.
