ὑψώματα δὲ καλοῦσιν ἀστέρων, καὶ ταπεινώματα ὡσαύτως, τὰ ἐν οἷς χαίρουσιν ἢ ὀλίγην δύναμιν ἔχουσιν· χαίρουσι μὲν γὰρ ἐν τοῖς ὑψώμασιν, ὀλί- γην δὲ δύναμιν ἔχουσιν ἐν τοῖς ταπεινώμασιν.

They call the signs in which the stars rejoice their exaltations, and likewise those in which they have little power their depressions. For they rejoice in their exaltations and possess little power in their depressions.

Ils appellent exaltations et, pareillement, dépressions des astres les signes dans lesquels ceux-ci se réjouissent ou n’ont qu’une faible puissance. Ils se réjouissent dans leurs exaltations et possèdent peu de puissance dans leurs dépressions.
