Nonnulli etiam exilius partiti sunt dominationum iura, vocaruntque locos et partes. Ac locum tradiderunt esse uniuscuiusque signi portionem duodecimam, id est gradus duos et dimidium; cum enim incipiant a signo in quo est stella, tribuunt vim illi loco in sequentibus signis. Alii excogitarunt alias distributiones sine ratione, partes vero tribuunt in quolibet signo ab initio cuilibet planetae iuxta ordinem finium tabulae Chaldaicae. Sed haec ad ostentationem excogi
