ABSTRACT

Again, an admonition as to whether a man shall make a petition to the king, or anything else. If the Moon is in the Ram, or in the Crab, or in the Bull, or in the Virgin, or in the Balance, that which thou shalt ask from the governor thou shalt receive, and thou shalt prosper. And if the Moon is in the Scorpion, or in the Great Image, or in the Goat, thou shalt not ask for anything. But if Zeus be there, or Balti, or Hermes, thy petition shall be answered [favourably], and if none of these be there, it shall not. And if the Moon is in the Lion, or in the Bowman, or in the Water-carrier, or in the Fishes, and thou shalt enter into judgement with a man, thou shalt not prosper, and thine adversary shall overcome thee. And if thou makest a petition to the governor, he shall turn away his face from thee.
