Καὶ πάντας ἁπλῶς τοὺς καθ’ ὁποιουσδήποτε συσχηματισμοὺς διεξελθεῖν οὕτω πολυμερῶς νοουμένους εἰκότως ἂν καταληφθείη τὸ τοιοῦτον εἶδος ἐπὶ τῇ τοῦ μαθηματικοῦ πρὸς τὰς κατὰ μέρος διακρίσεις ἐπιβολῇ καὶ ἐπινοίᾳ.

‘But since it limitless and impossible to distinguish in an articulate manner the particular effect for each commixture as well as absolutely all the configurations of whatever kind, it would be reasonable to leave such a form to the apprehensions and conceptions of the mathematician for the particular distinctions.’

— Hephaestion 1.20

Genre: astrological treatise Date: 5th century CE
