τῷ ναʹ ἔτει ἐξενίτευσεν, καὶ ἐπὶ βασιλέως ἐλθὼν δίκην ὑπὲρ φίλου ἀρχιερωσύνης ἐνίκησεν· ἦν γὰρ ἡ παράδοσις ἀπὸ Σελήνης καὶ Ἀφροδίτης καὶ ὡροσκόπου <ἐπὶ> Ἑρμῆν ὄντα ἐν τῷ περὶ θεοῦ καὶ βασιλέως. ἐν δὲ τῷ αὐτῷ ἔτει καὶ τέκνου θάνατος ἐγένετο· Ἄρης γὰρ ἀπὸ θανατικοῦ τόπου Κρόνῳ παρέδωκεν ὄντι ἐν τῷ περὶ τέκνων τόπῳ.
‘In the 51st year (of life) he went abroad, and coming before a king he won a court case on behalf of a friend’s chief-priesthood: for the transfer (of chronokratoria) was from Moon and Venus and Ascendant to Mercury, which was in the (place) concerning god and king. In the same year the death of a child also occurred: for Mars handed over (the chronokratoria) from the place of death to Saturn, which was in the place concerning children.’
