Λέων

ἔστι δὲ ἐν τούτῳ τὰ μέσα τοῦ Καρκίνου καὶ τὰ διὰ τοῦ σώματος κατὰ μῆκος τοῦ Λέοντος

‘In it (sc. the Tropic of Cancer) are the middle of Cancer and the width-wise cross-section of the body of Leo’

ζωϊδίων δέ ἑ κύκλον ἐπίκλησιν καλέουσιν· τῷ ἔνι Καρκίνος ἐστί, Λέων ἐπὶ τῷ (...) ἐν τοῖς ἠέλιος φέρεται δυοκαίδεκα πᾶσιν πάντ’ ἐνιαυτὸν ἄγων, καί οἱ περὶ τοῦτον ἰόντι κύκλον ἀέξονται πᾶσαι ἐπικάρπιοι ὧραι.

‘They call it (sc. the ecliptic) by the name 'Circle of the figurines': in it is Cancer, after that there is Leo (...) In all twelve of them the Sun moves along as it passes each year, and as it goes around this circle, all the seasons wax fruitful.’
