καὶ αὕτη ἡ γένεσις κατ’ ἀρχὰς ἀνωμάλως καὶ μετρίως διῆξεν, ἐξ ὑστέρου δὲ ἀνεβιβάσθη καὶ στεμμάτων καὶ ἀρχιερωσύνης μετέσχεν· ἐπὶ τῆς ἐπαναφορᾶς γὰρ εὑρέθησαν οἱ κύριοι τοῦ τριγώνου, ὁ δὲ γʹ κύριος τοῦ τριγώνου καὶ ὁ κύριος τοῦ κλήρου μεσουρανῶν, ὁμοίως δὲ καὶ ὁ κύριος τοῦ ὑψώματος κατὰ τὸν κλῆρον μεσουρανῶν καὶ ὁ κύριος τοῦ δαίμονος.

‘This nativity proceeded irregularly and with middling (success) at the beginning, but later (the native) was elevated and partook of garlands and high-priesthood: for the lords of the triangle were found in a rising place (i.e., following a cardinal point), and the third lord of the triangle and the lord of the lot in Midheaven, and likewise the lord of the exaltation according to the lot in Midheaven, and the lord of the Daimōn.’
