καλῶ
γεγεννημένων,
or καλῶ
τετεννημένων. | and large mouth, contracted eyebrows; they
conquer all things, they retain whatever possessions they
acquire,217

This is an amended reading of the text, which is obviously
confused. The correction necessary is introduced lower down in
the ms., which makes the same characteristic be
twice mentioned. The Abbe Cruice, however, accounts for such a

predictions. He therefore quotes the opinions of various
astrologers, in order to expose the diversities of opinion existing
among them. |
equitable, musical, liars. And the same by nature are learned,
reflective, inquisitive, arriving at their own decisions, concupiscent,
sparing of what belongs to themselves, liberal, quiet, prudent, crafty,
they form many designs, calculators, accusers, importunate, not
prosperous, they are beloved by the fair sex, merchants; as regards
friendship, not to any considerable extent useful.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
