卷五·第二十四章 开工造船
开工宜太阳三分上升、月亮光增又有吉星照见；忌火星克月亮。月亮所在星座分水瓶、海象、干燥三类，各主一种船难。
XXIV. Chapter: On Beginning the Building of a Ship.
[1] The best time for that at any season is when the Sun is in trine with the Ascendant, and the Moon is increasing in light and in her reckoning, increasing in her latitude and her longitude, regarded by the benefics, and in the terms of the benefics; and guard against the presence of the malefics, or their rays, toward her and toward the Sun.
[2] Beware of beginning that at an hour when the Moon and the Ascendant are afflicted by Mars; for if it is so, it signifies that the outcome of that work will be bad and vile, on account of fire, or anger, or violence.
[3] If the beginning is at an hour when the Moon is in Aquarius, and the Sun and Mars are in opposition or square to the Moon, or with the Moon in one sign, it signifies that the ship will suffer a calamity from water and from what is gathered in it for the life and livelihood of its people; burning will befall it, a severe calamity and great fear will come upon its people, and its cargo will be thrown into the sea in the hope of saving the people from death.
[4] If the Moon is not in Aquarius but in a sea sign, and Mars and the Sun are in the condition we mentioned, in square or opposition, it signifies the sinking of the ship, of its people, and of what is in it, their destruction, and their going down to the bottom of the sea.
[5] If the Moon is not in the watery signs but in a dry sign, and the Sun and Mars regard in the condition I described, it signifies that the ship will suffer a calamity and a breaking from the seashore, or from a rock or a mountain in the sea; the planks of the ship will be scattered over the reaches of the sea, and whatever is in it will perish.
[6] If the Moon is not in a dry sign, it signifies that the ship will suffer at sea a calamity from robbers and from those who cut the ways at sea, who will fight its people, so that it sinks for that reason and what is in it perishes [text uncertain].
And many ships will be lost in sea-battles.

XXIV. Chapter: On Beginning the Building of a Ship.
第二十四章 论开工造船。
[1] The best time for that at any season is when the Sun is in trine with the Ascendant, and the Moon is increasing in light and in her reckoning, increasing in her latitude and her longitude, regarded by the benefics, and in the terms of the benefics; and guard against the presence of the malefics, or their rays, toward her and toward the Sun.
[1] 无论何时，做这件事最好是在太阳与上升成三分，月亮光与推算值都在增长、纬度与经度都在增加、有吉星照见，又在吉星的界里时；还要提防凶星与她、与太阳同在，或把光线投向她们。
[2] Beware of beginning that at an hour when the Moon and the Ascendant are afflicted by Mars; for if it is so, it signifies that the outcome of that work will be bad and vile, on account of fire, or anger, or violence.
[2] 切忌在月亮与上升受火星克害的时刻开工；若是这样，表示这件事结局坏而恶，起因是火、是怒、是强暴。
[3] If the beginning is at an hour when the Moon is in Aquarius, and the Sun and Mars are in opposition or square to the Moon, or with the Moon in one sign, it signifies that the ship will suffer a calamity from water and from what is gathered in it for the life and livelihood of its people; burning will befall it, a severe calamity and great fear will come upon its people, and its cargo will be thrown into the sea in the hope of saving the people from death.
[3] 若开工时月亮在水瓶，太阳与火星与月亮对冲、四分，或与月亮同在一个星座，表示这船会因水、因船上为众人活命与生计所聚的东西而遭灾；会着火，船上的人会遭大难、受大惊，为了救人免死，货物要抛进海里。
[4] If the Moon is not in Aquarius but in a sea sign, and Mars and the Sun are in the condition we mentioned, in square or opposition, it signifies the sinking of the ship, of its people, and of what is in it, their destruction, and their going down to the bottom of the sea.
[4] 若月亮不在水瓶，而在海象星座，火星与太阳又如上所说成四分或对冲，表示船、船上的人与货一同沉没、毁灭，坠入海底。
[5] If the Moon is not in the watery signs but in a dry sign, and the Sun and Mars regard in the condition I described, it signifies that the ship will suffer a calamity and a breaking from the seashore, or from a rock or a mountain in the sea; the planks of the ship will be scattered over the reaches of the sea, and whatever is in it will perish.
[5] 若月亮不在水象星座，而在干燥星座，太阳与火星又如我所说照见，表示船会因海岸、或海中礁石山岩而遭难破裂，船板散落在海上各处，船上一切尽失。
[6] If the Moon is not in a dry sign, it signifies that the ship will suffer at sea a calamity from robbers and from those who cut the ways at sea, who will fight its people, so that it sinks for that reason and what is in it perishes [text uncertain].
[6] 若月亮不在干燥星座，表示船会在海上遭强盗、海上劫路者之害，他们与船上的人交战，船因此沉没，船上一切尽失〔原文疑有讹误〕。
And many ships will be lost in sea-battles.
许多船只将在海战中沉没。

🧭 图解与讲解
第一节说开工吉时。阿拉伯文作「太阳与吉星成三分」，赫菲斯提翁卷三第十七章第三节作「太阳与上升成三分」，融合本依希腊；希腊又多「有吉星照见」「提防凶星与日月同在或投光」两句，并入（表一）。月亮要光增、推算值增，纬度、经度都在增加，并在吉星的界里，这些都是让月亮「有力」的条件，卷五择日各章反复用到。
| 句 | 依据 | 主要异文 | 裁定 |
|---|---|---|---|
| §1 | 阿拉伯文 + Heph. III 17, 3 | 阿拉伯文「太阳与吉星三分」，希腊「太阳与上升三分」；希腊多「有吉星照见」「提防凶星投光于日月」 | 依希腊；并入两句 |
| §2–5 | 阿拉伯文 | 残篇无 | 依阿拉伯文 |
| §6 | 阿拉伯文 | 「月亮不在干燥星座」与 §4 重叠，推不出强盗 | 照译，标存疑 |
| §6 后 | 诗句（Tzetzes） | Tzetzes 用在彗星主舰队覆灭的语境 | 收作诗句残行，位置依 Pingree，讲解说明出处语境 |
| 开工时月亮所在 | 火星、太阳与月亮成四分、对冲或同宫 | 船难 |
|---|---|---|
| 水瓶 | 是 | 因水、因船上所聚之物而遭灾，起火，货物抛海 |
| 海象星座（不在水瓶） | 是 | 船、人、货一同沉没 |
| 干燥星座 | 是 | 撞上海岸礁石，船板散落 |
| 不在干燥星座 | —— | 遭海盗劫杀而沉（原文疑有讹误） |
第二至六节讲忌：火星克月亮与上升，主事情坏在火、怒与强暴。再按月亮所在星座的性质分四种船难（表二）：水瓶主火灾而抛货，海象星座主连人带货沉没，干燥星座主触礁散板，最后一种是遇海盗。最后一节「若月亮不在干燥星座」与前一节的海象星座重叠，推不出强盗来，阿拉伯文当有脱误，照译并标〔原文疑有讹误〕。
末行是一句诗，「许多船只将在海战中沉没」，此句是传世希腊原诗，由拜占庭学者策策斯（Tzetzes）在注荷马时引出。策策斯用它的语境是彗星预示舰队覆灭，不是造船择日；融合本照前人编定的位置挂在本章末，作为原诗残行保留。卷五第二十二章按兽形、人形星座分祸源，本章按水瓶、海象、干燥分船难，同是「看月亮所在星座的性质」这一条思路。
