ὡς ὁμορόησις λέγεται ὅταν ἐν τοῖς αὐτῶν ὁρίοις ἀστέρες ὦσιν ἢ κατὰ κόλλησιν ἢ κατὰ σχῆμα οἱονδήποτε ἀλλήλους ἐφορῶσιν ἐν ὁρίοις τοῦ αὐτοῦ ἀστέρος ὄντες· κενοδρομία δὲ ὅταν ἡ Σελήνη μηδενὶ συνάπτῃ μήτε ζῳδιακῶς μήτε μοιρικῶς μήτε κατὰ κόλλησιν μήτε κατὰ σχῆμα μήτε μὴν ἐντὸς λʹ μοιρῶν τῶν ἔγγιστα συναφὴν ἢ σύνοδον ποιεῖσθαι μέλλῃ· καὶ ὡς κακοῖ τὸ σχῆμα τὴν γένεσιν.

‘(Antiochus says) that it is called “neighboring” whenever planets are in their terms, or are in attachment or in aspect with each other in any configuration in the terms of the same planet. “Running empty” is whenever the Moon is not in contact with any (planet), neither with respect to zodiac signs nor with respect to degrees nor in attachment(?) nor in configuration nor even about to make a union or conjunction within the next 30 degrees, and (Antiochus says) that this configuration oppresses the nativity.’

— Antiochus, Fragments
