卷二·第三章　论各地与三方及诸星的亲缘

Now of the four triangular formations recognized in the zodiac, as we have shown above, the one which consists of Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius is northwestern, and is chiefly dominated by Jupiter on account of the north wind, but Mars joins in its government because of the south-west wind. That which is made up of Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn is south-eastern, and again is governed primarily by Venus on account of the south wind, but conjointly by Saturn because of the east wind.

如前文所示，黄道上公认有四个三角形的三方。其中由白羊、狮子、射手组成的一个属西北，因北风之故主要由木星主宰，但因西南风之故，火星也参与主管。由金牛、处女、摩羯组成的一个属东南，同样，因南风之故首先由金星主管，又因东风之故由土星共同主管。

The one consisting of Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius is north-eastern and is governed primarily by Saturn because of the east wind, and conjointly by Jupiter because of the north wind. The triangle of Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces is south-western and is governed primarily, because of the west wind, by Mars, who is joined by Venus as co‑ruler on account of the south wind.

由双子、天秤、水瓶组成的一个属东北，因东风之故首先由土星主管，又因北风之故由木星共同主管。巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼这个三方属西南，因西风之故首先由火星主管，又因南风之故有金星作为共主与他同管。

As this is so, and since our inhabited world is divided into four quarters, equal in number to the triangles, and is divided latitudinally by our sea from the Straits of Hercules to the Gulf of Issus and the mountainous ridge adjacent on the east, and by these its southern and northern portions are separated, and in longitude by the Arabian Gulf, the Aegean Sea, the Pontus, and the Lake Maeotis, whereby the eastern and western portions are separated, there arise four quarters, and these agree in position with the triangles.

既然如此，而我们的人居世界又分为四个象限，数目与三方相等——在纬度方向上，它被我们的海从赫拉克勒斯海峡到伊苏斯湾以及东面相连的山脉分开，南北两部分由此隔开；在经度方向上，被阿拉伯湾、爱琴海、本都与迈俄提斯湖分开，东西两部分由此隔开——于是便形成四个象限，其方位与四个三方相合。

The first quarter lies in the north-west of the whole inhabited world; it embraces Celtic Gaul and we give it the general name Europe. Opposite this is the south-eastern quarter; this includes eastern Ethiopia, which would be called the southern part of Greater Asia. Again, the north-eastern quarter of the whole inhabited world is that which contains Scythia, which likewise is the northern part of Greater Asia; and the quarter opposite this and toward the south-west wind, the quarter of western Ethiopia, is that which we call by the general term Libya.

第一象限位于整个人居世界的西北，包括凯尔特人的高卢，我们给它一个总名，叫作欧罗巴。与它相对的是东南象限，包括东埃塞俄比亚，可称为大亚细亚的南部。再者，整个人居世界的东北象限，就是包含斯基泰的那一个，同样是大亚细亚的北部；与它相对、朝向西南风的象限，也就是西埃塞俄比亚的象限，我们用总名称为利比亚。

Again, of each of the aforesaid quarters the parts which are placed closer to the centre of the inhabited world are placed in a contrary fashion with respect to the surrounding quarters, just as are the latter in comparison with the whole world; and since the European quarter lies in the north-west of the whole world, the parts about the centre, which are allied to the opposite angle, obviously are situated in the south-east part of the quarter.

再者，上述每个象限中较靠近人居世界中心的部分，相对于象限的周边部分，方位是反过来安置的，正如周边部分相对于整个世界那样；既然欧罗巴象限位于整个世界的西北，那么它靠近中心、与相对一角相连的部分，显然就位于该象限的东南部。

The same holds of the other quarters, so that each of them is related to two oppositely situated triangles; for while the other parts are in harmony with the general inclination of the quarter, the portions at the centre [of the world] share in familiarity with the opposite inclination, and, again, of the stars that govern in their own triangles, in all the other domiciles they alone govern, but in the parts about the centre of the world likewise the other group, and Mercury besides, because he is mid-way between and common to the two sects.

其余各象限也是如此，所以每个象限都与两个位置相对的三方相关：其余部分与象限总的朝向相合，而位于世界中心的部分则兼与相反的朝向有亲缘；再者，在各自三方中主管的诸星，在其余一切居地都单独主管，但在世界中心附近的部分，另一组星也同样主管，此外还有水星，因为他居于两者之间，为昼夜两方所共有。

Under this arrangement, the remainder of the first quarter, by which I mean the European quarter, situated in the north-west of the inhabited world, is in familiarity with the north-western triangle, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, and is governed, as one would expect, by the lords of the triangle, Jupiter and Mars, occidental. In terms of whole nations these parts consist of Britain, (Transalpine) Gaul, Germany, Bastarnia, Italy, (Cisalpine) Gaul, Apulia, Sicily, Tyrrhenia, Celtica, and Spain.

照这样安排，第一象限——我指的是位于人居世界西北的欧罗巴象限——的其余部分，与西北三方白羊、狮子、射手有亲缘，并且如所预期，由这个三方之主、处于西入的木星与火星主管。以整个民族而论，这些部分包括不列颠、（山北）高卢、日耳曼尼亚、巴斯塔尼亚、意大利、（山南）高卢、阿普利亚、西西里、第勒尼亚、凯尔提卡与西班牙。

As one might expect, it is the general characteristic of these nations, by reason of the predominance of the triangle and the stars which join in its government, to be independent, liberty-loving, fond of arms, industrious, very warlike, with qualities of leadership, cleanly, and magnanimous. However, because of the occidental aspect of Jupiter and Mars, and furthermore because the first parts of the aforesaid triangle are masculine and the latter parts feminine, they are without passion for women and look down upon the pleasures of love, but are better satisfied with and more desirous of association with men.

如所预期，由于这个三方以及共同主管它的诸星占优势，这些民族的一般特性是：不受管束、热爱自由、喜好兵器、勤劳、极为好战、有统领之才、爱清洁、气度宏大。然而，由于木星与火星呈西入的格局，又由于上述三方的前段属阳性、后段属阴性，他们对女人没有激情，看轻男女之欢，却更满足于、也更渴望与男子交往。

And they do not regard the act as a disgrace to the paramour, nor indeed do they actually become effeminate and soft thereby, because their disposition is not perverted, but they retain in their souls manliness, helpfulness, good faith, love of kinsmen, and benevolence. Of these same countries Britain, (Transalpine) Gaul, Germany, and Bastarnia are in closer familiarity with Aries and Mars. Therefore for the most part their inhabitants are fiercer, more headstrong, and bestial. But Italy, Apulia, (Cisalpine) Gaul, and Sicily have their familiarity with Leo and the sun; wherefore these peoples are more masterful, benevolent, and co‑operative.

他们不认为这种行为对相好的一方是耻辱，也确实不因此变得阴柔软弱，因为他们的禀性并未败坏，灵魂里仍保有男子气概、乐于助人、守信、爱亲族、仁善。在这些国家中，不列颠、（山北）高卢、日耳曼尼亚与巴斯塔尼亚与白羊和火星更亲，因此那里的居民大多更凶猛、更刚愎、更有野性。而意大利、阿普利亚、（山南）高卢与西西里与狮子和太阳有亲缘，所以这些民族更有主宰气概、仁善而善于合作。

Tyrrhenia, Celtica, and Spain are subject to Sagittarius and Jupiter, whence their independence, simplicity, and love of cleanliness. The parts of this quarter which are situated about the centre of the inhabited world, Thrace, Macedonia, Illyria, Hellas, Achaia, Crete, and likewise the Cyclades, and the coastal regions of Asia Minor and Cyprus, which are in the south-east portion of the whole quarter, have in addition familiarity with the south-east triangle, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, and its co‑rulers Venus, Saturn, and Mercury.

第勒尼亚、凯尔提卡与西班牙从属于射手与木星，所以他们不受管束、淳朴、爱清洁。这个象限中位于人居世界中心附近的部分——色雷斯、马其顿、伊利里亚、赫拉斯、亚该亚、克里特，以及基克拉泽斯群岛、小亚细亚沿海地区与塞浦路斯——位于整个象限的东南部，因而还与东南三方金牛、处女、摩羯，以及其共主金星、土星、水星有亲缘。

As a result the inhabitants of those countries are brought into conformity with these planets and both in body and soul are of a more mingled constitution. They too have qualities of leadership and are noble and independent, because of Mars; they are liberty-loving and self-governing, democratic and framers of law, through Jupiter; lovers of music and of learning, fond of contests and clean livers, through Venus; social, friendly to strangers, justice-loving, fond of letters, and very effective in eloquence, through Mercury; and they are particularly addicted to the performance of mysteries, because of Venus's occidental aspect.

结果，这些国家的居民与这些行星相契合，身体与灵魂两方面的禀赋都更为混合。因为火星，他们同样有统领之才，高贵而不受管束；因为木星，他们热爱自由、自己治理自己，行民主、立法律；因为金星，他们爱音乐、爱学问，喜好竞赛，生活洁净；因为水星，他们合群、好客、爱正义、爱文辞，极擅雄辩；又因为金星呈西入的格局，他们尤其热衷于举行秘仪。

And again, part by part, those of this group who live in the Cyclades and on the shores of Asia Minor and Cyprus are more closely familiar to Taurus and Venus. For this reason they are, on the whole, luxurious, clean, and attentive to their bodies. The inhabitants of Hellas, Achaia, and Crete, however, have a familiarity with Virgo and Mercury, and are therefore better at reasoning, and fond of learning, and they exercise the soul in preference to the body.

再逐一而论，这一群中住在基克拉泽斯群岛、小亚细亚沿岸与塞浦路斯的人，与金牛和金星更亲，因此他们大体上讲究享受、爱清洁、留意自己的身体。赫拉斯、亚该亚与克里特的居民则与处女和水星有亲缘，因此更善于推理，爱好学问，锻炼灵魂甚于锻炼身体。

The Macedonians, Thracians, and Illyrians have familiarity with Capricorn and Saturn, so that, though they are acquisitive, they are not so mild of nature, nor social in their institutions.

马其顿人、色雷斯人与伊利里亚人与摩羯和土星有亲缘，所以他们虽然贪得，本性却不那么温和，制度上也不那么合群。

Of the second quarter, which embraces the southern part of greater Asia, the other parts, including India, Ariana, Gedrosia, Parthia, Media, Persia, Babylonia, Mesopotamia, and Assyria, which are situated in the south-east of the whole inhabited world, are, as we might presume, familiar to the south-eastern triangle, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn, and are governed by Venus and Saturn in oriental aspects. Therefore one would find that the natures of their inhabitants conform with the temperaments governed by such rulers; for they revere the star of Venus under the name of Isis, and that of Saturn as Mithras Helios.

第二象限包括大亚细亚的南部，其中的其余部分——印度、阿里亚纳、格德罗西亚、帕提亚、米底、波斯、巴比伦尼亚、美索不达米亚与亚述——位于整个人居世界的东南，可以推想，它们与东南三方金牛、处女、摩羯有亲缘，并由处于东出格局的金星与土星主管。因此人们会发现，那里居民的本性与这类主星所主的气质相符：他们以伊西斯之名尊奉金星，以密特拉·赫利俄斯之名尊奉土星。

Most of them, too, divine future events; and among them there exists the practice of consecrating the genital organs because of the aspect of the aforesaid stars, which is by nature generative. Further, they are ardent, concupiscent, and inclined to the pleasures of love; through the influence of Venus they are dancers and leapers and fond of adornment, and through that of Saturn luxurious livers. They carry out their relations with women openly and not in secret, because of the planets' oriental aspect, but hold in detestation such relations with males.

他们大多也预卜未来之事；因为上述诸星的格局本性主生殖，他们之中有把生殖器奉为神圣的习俗。再者，他们热情、多欲、倾心于男女之欢；因为金星的影响，他们爱跳舞、爱腾跃、喜好装饰，因为土星的影响而生活奢华。由于诸星呈东出的格局，他们与女人的关系公开进行而不隐秘，却厌恶与男子的这类关系。

For these reasons most of them beget children by their own mothers, and they do obeisance to the breast, by reason of the morning rising of the planets and on account of the primacy of the heart, which is akin to the sun's power. As for the rest, they are generally luxurious and effeminate in dress, in adornment, and in all habits relating to the body, because of Venus. In their souls and by their predilection they are magnanimous, noble, and warlike, because of the familiarity of Saturn oriental.

由于这些缘故，他们大多与自己的母亲生育子女；又因为诸星的晨升，也因为心脏居首、与太阳之力相近，他们向胸膛行跪拜之礼。至于其余方面，因为金星，他们在衣着、装饰以及一切关乎身体的习惯上，一般都奢华而阴柔。而在灵魂与志趣上，因为与东出的土星有亲缘，他们气度宏大、高贵而好战。

Part by part, again, Parthia, Media, and Persia are more closely familiar to Taurus and Venus; hence their inhabitants use embroidered clothing, which covers their entire body except the breast, and they are as a general thing luxurious and clean. Babylonia, Mesopotamia, and Assyria are familiar to Virgo and Mercury, and so the study of mathematics and the observation of the five planets are special traits of these peoples. India, Ariana, and Gedrosia have familiarity with Capricorn and Saturn; therefore the inhabitants of these countries are ugly, unclean, and bestial.

再逐一而论，帕提亚、米底与波斯与金牛和金星更亲，所以那里的居民穿绣花的衣服，除胸膛之外遮住全身，一般说来讲究享受、爱清洁。巴比伦尼亚、美索不达米亚与亚述与处女和水星有亲缘，所以研习数理之学、观测五颗行星，是这些民族特有的本事。印度、阿里亚纳与格德罗西亚与摩羯和土星有亲缘，因此这些国家的居民丑陋、不洁、有野性。

The remaining parts of the quarter, situated about the centre of the inhabited world, Idumaea, Coelê Syria, Judaea, Phoenicia, Chaldaea, Orchinia, and Arabia Felix, which are situated toward the north-west of the whole quarter, have additional familiarity with the north-western triangle, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, and furthermore, have as co‑rulers Jupiter, Mars, and Mercury. Therefore these peoples are, in comparison with the others, more gifted in trade and exchange; they are more unscrupulous, despicable cowards, treacherous, servile, and in general fickle, on account of the aspect of the stars mentioned.

这个象限的其余部分位于人居世界中心附近——以土买、柯里叙利亚、犹地亚、腓尼基、迦勒底、奥尔基尼亚与阿拉伯福地——它们朝向整个象限的西北，所以还与西北三方白羊、狮子、射手有亲缘，此外又以木星、火星与水星为共主。因此这些民族与其他民族相比，更擅长贸易与交换；由于上述诸星的格局，他们也更不择手段，是可鄙的懦夫，奸诈、奴性，总之反复无常。

Of these, again, the inhabitants of Coelê Syria, Idumaea, and Judaea are more closely familiar to Aries and Mars, and therefore these peoples are in general bold, godless, and scheming. The Phoenicians, Chaldaeans, and Orchinians have familiarity with Leo and the sun, so that they are simpler, kindly, addicted to astrology, and beyond all men worshippers of the sun.

其中，柯里叙利亚、以土买与犹地亚的居民又与白羊和火星更亲，因此这些民族一般大胆、不敬神、多诡计。腓尼基人、迦勒底人与奥尔基尼亚人与狮子和太阳有亲缘，所以他们较淳朴、和善、热衷于星占，而且比任何人都更崇拜太阳。

The inhabitants of Arabia Felix are familiar to Sagittarius and Jupiter; this accounts for the fertility of the country, in accordance with its name, and its multitudes of spices, and the grace of its inhabitants and their free spirit in daily life, in exchange, and in business.

阿拉伯福地的居民与射手和木星有亲缘；这说明了那片土地何以如其名称一样丰饶，香料何以众多，居民何以优雅，在日常生活、交换与买卖中都有自由的气度。

Of the third quarter, which includes the northern part of Greater Asia, the other parts, embracing Hyrcania, Armenia, Matiana, Bactriana, Casperia, Serica, Sauromatica, Oxiana, Sogdiana, and the regions in the north-east of the inhabited world, are in familiarity with the north-eastern triangle, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, and are, as might be expected, governed by Saturn and Jupiter in oriental aspect.

第三象限包括大亚细亚的北部，其中的其余部分——希尔卡尼亚、亚美尼亚、马蒂亚纳、巴克特里亚、卡斯佩里亚、赛里斯、萨尔马提亚、奥克西亚纳、粟特，以及人居世界东北的各地区——与东北三方双子、天秤、水瓶有亲缘，并且如所预期，由处于东出格局的土星与木星主管。

Therefore the inhabitants of these lands worship Jupiter and Saturn, have much riches and gold, and are cleanly and seemly in their living, learned and adepts in matters of religion, just and liberal in manners, lofty and noble in soul, haters of evil, and affectionate, and ready to die for their friends in a fair and holy cause. They are dignified and pure in their sexual relations, lavish in dress, gracious and magnanimous; these things in general are brought about by Saturn and Jupiter in eastern aspects.

因此这些地方的居民崇拜木星与土星，富有财宝与黄金，生活洁净体面，有学问，精通宗教之事，为人公正、举止大方，灵魂高尚，憎恶邪恶，重情义，愿为朋友在正当而神圣的事业中赴死。他们在两性关系上庄重而纯洁，衣着华丽，优雅而气度宏大；这些大体都是东出格局的土星与木星所造成的。

Of these nations, again, Hyrcania, Armenia, and Matiana are more closely familiar to Gemini and Mercury; they are accordingly more easily stirred and inclined to rascality. Bactriana, Casperia, and Serica are akin to Libra and Venus, so that their peoples are rich and followers of the Muses, and more luxurious. The regions of Sauromatica, Oxiana, and Sogdiana are in familiarity with Aquarius and Saturn; these nations therefore are more ungentle, stern, and bestial.

这些民族中，希尔卡尼亚、亚美尼亚与马蒂亚纳又与双子和水星更亲，因此更容易被煽动，也倾向于奸猾。巴克特里亚、卡斯佩里亚与赛里斯近于天秤和金星，所以那里的人民富裕、追随缪斯，也更讲究享受。萨尔马提亚、奥克西亚纳与粟特各地与水瓶和土星有亲缘，因此这些民族更不温和、严厉而有野性。

The remaining parts of this quarter, which lie close to the centre of the inhabited world, Bithynia, Phrygia, Colchica, Syria, Commagenê, Cappadocia, Lydia, Lycia, Cilicia, and Pamphylia, since they are situated in the south-west of the quarter, have in addition familiarity with the south-western quarter, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, and their co‑rulers are Mars, Venus, and Mercury; therefore those who live in these countries generally worship Venus as the mother of the gods, calling her by various local names, and Mars as Adonis, to whom again they give other names, and they celebrate in their honour certain mysteries accompanied by lamentations.

这个象限的其余部分靠近人居世界中心——比提尼亚、弗里吉亚、科尔基斯、叙利亚、科马基尼、卡帕多西亚、吕底亚、吕基亚、奇里乞亚与潘菲利亚——因为位于该象限的西南，所以还与西南三方巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼有亲缘，其共主是火星、金星与水星；因此住在这些国家的人一般把金星当作众神之母来崇拜，按各地的叫法给她起种种名称，又把火星当作阿多尼斯来崇拜，也给他起别的名字，并为他们举行某些伴有哀哭的秘仪。

They are exceedingly depraved, servile, laborious, rascally, are to be found in mercenary expeditions, looting and taking captives, enslaving their own peoples, and engaging in destructive wars. And because of the junction of Mars and Venus in the Orient, since Mars is exalted in Capricorn, a sign of Venus's triangle, it comes about that their women display entire goodwill to their husbands; they are affectionate, home-keepers, diligent, helpful, and in every respect laborious and obedient.

他们极为卑劣、奴性、劳苦、奸猾，常见于雇佣兵的远征之中，劫掠、掳人为俘，奴役自己的同族，从事毁灭性的战争。又因为火星与金星在东方相结合——火星在摩羯得旺，而摩羯是金星三方中的星座——所以那里的女人对丈夫全心善待；她们重情、持家、勤勉、肯帮忙，在各方面都勤劳而顺从。

Of these peoples, again, those who live in Bithynia, Phrygia, and Colchica are more closely familiar to Cancer and the moon; therefore the men are in general cautious and obedient, and most of the women, through the influence of the moon's oriental and masculine aspect, are virile, commanding, and warlike, like the Amazons, who shun commerce with men, love arms, and from infancy make masculine all their female characteristics, by cutting off their right breasts for the sake of military needs and baring these parts in the line of battle, in order to display the absence of femininity in their natures.

这些民族中，住在比提尼亚、弗里吉亚与科尔基斯的人又与巨蟹和月亮更亲，因此男人一般谨慎而顺从；而大多数女人，因为月亮东出而呈阳性的格局，刚强如男子、好发号施令、好战，就像亚马逊人一样——她们避开与男人交往，喜爱兵器，从幼年起就把自己一切女性的特征都变得阳刚：为了作战的需要割去右乳，在阵前袒露那个部位，以显示她们本性中没有女人气。

The people of Syria, Commagenê, and Cappadocia are familiar to Scorpio and Mars; therefore much boldness, knavery, treachery, and laboriousness are found among them. The people of Lydia, Cilicia, and Pamphylia have familiarity with Pisces and Jupiter; these accordingly are more wealthy, commercial, social, free, and trustworthy in their compacts.

叙利亚、科马基尼与卡帕多西亚的人与天蝎和火星有亲缘，因此他们之中多见大胆、无赖、奸诈与劳苦。吕底亚、奇里乞亚与潘菲利亚的人与双鱼和木星有亲缘，所以他们较为富有，善于经商，合群、自由，订约守信。

Of the remaining quarter, which includes what is called by the common name Libya, the other parts, including Numidia, Carthage, Africa, Phazania, Nasamonitis, Garamantica, Mauritania, Gaetulia, Metagonitis, and the regions situated in the south-west of the inhabited world, are related by familiarity to the south-western triangle, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, and are accordingly ruled by Mars and Venus in occidental aspect.

剩下的那个象限包括以总名称为利比亚的地方，其中的其余部分——努米底亚、迦太基、阿非利加、法扎尼亚、纳萨蒙尼提斯、加拉曼提卡、毛里塔尼亚、盖图里亚、梅塔戈尼提斯，以及位于人居世界西南的各地区——与西南三方巨蟹、天蝎、双鱼有亲缘，因而由处于西入格局的火星与金星主宰。

For this reason it befalls most of the inhabitants, because of the aforesaid junction of these planets, to be governed by a man and wife who are own brother and sister, the man ruling the men and the woman the women; and a succession of this sort is maintained. They are extremely ardent and disposed to commerce with women, so that even their marriages are brought about by violent abduction, and frequently their kings enjoy the jus primae noctis with the brides, and among some of them the women are common to all the men.

由于这个缘故，因为上述两星的结合，那里大多数居民恰好由一对亲兄妹结成的夫妇统治，男的统治男人，女的统治女人；这样的继承一直维持下来。他们极为热情，好与女人交接，以致连婚姻都靠强行掳掠促成，他们的国王常对新娘享有初夜权，其中有些民族的女人归所有男人共有。

They are fond of beautifying themselves and gird themselves with feminine adornments, through the influence of Venus; through that of Mars, however, they are virile of spirit, rascally, magicians, impostors, deceivers, and reckless. Of these people, again, the inhabitants of Numidia, Carthage, and Africa are more closely familiar to Cancer and the moon. They therefore are social, commercial, and live in great abundance.

因为金星的影响，他们爱打扮，佩戴女性的饰物；但因为火星的影响，他们精神刚强、奸猾，是行巫术者、冒充者、欺诈者，又鲁莽。这些人中，努米底亚、迦太基与阿非利加的居民又与巨蟹和月亮更亲，因此合群、善经商，生活极为富足。

Those who inhabit Metagonitis, Mauritania, and Gaetulia are familiar to Scorpio and Mars; they are accordingly fiercer and very warlike, meat-eaters, very reckless, and contemptuous of life to such an extent as not even to spare one another. Those who live in Phazania, Nasamonitis, and Garamantica are familiar to Pisces and Jupiter; hence they are free and simple in their characters, willing to work, intelligent, cleanly, and independent, as a general rule, and they are worshippers of Jupiter as Ammon.

住在梅塔戈尼提斯、毛里塔尼亚与盖图里亚的人与天蝎和火星有亲缘，所以更凶猛、极为好战，吃肉，非常鲁莽，轻生到了连彼此都不相饶的地步。住在法扎尼亚、纳萨蒙尼提斯与加拉曼提卡的人与双鱼和木星有亲缘，所以一般说来性格自由而淳朴，肯劳作、聪明、爱清洁、不受管束；他们把木星当作阿蒙来崇拜。

The remaining parts of the quarter, which are situated near the centre of the inhabited world, Cyrenaica, Marmarica, Egypt, Thebais, the Oasis, Troglodytica, Arabia, Azania, and Middle Ethiopia, which face the north-east of the whole quarter, have an additional familiarity with the north-eastern triangle Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius, and therefore have as co‑rulers Saturn and Jupiter and, furthermore, Mercury.

这个象限的其余部分位于人居世界中心附近——昔兰尼加、马尔马里卡、埃及、底比斯地区、绿洲、特罗格洛迪提卡、阿拉伯、阿扎尼亚与中埃塞俄比亚——它们朝向整个象限的东北，所以还与东北三方双子、天秤、水瓶有亲缘，因而以土星、木星，再加上水星为共主。

Accordingly those who live in these countries, because they all in common, as it were, are subject to the occidental rulership of the five planets, are worshippers of the gods, superstitious, given to religious ceremony and fond of lamentation; they bury their dead in the earth, putting them out of sight, on account of the occidental aspect of the planets; and they practice all kinds of usages, customs, and rites in the service of all manner of gods.

因此住在这些国家的人，由于可说是共同受五颗行星以西入格局主管，所以敬奉众神、迷信、热衷宗教仪式、好哀哭；由于诸星呈西入的格局，他们把死者埋入地下，使之不见；他们奉行种种惯例、习俗与仪式，侍奉各色各样的神。

Under command they are humble, timid, penurious, and long-suffering, in leadership courageous and magnanimous; but they are polygamous and polyandrous and lecherous, marrying even their own sisters, and the men are potent in begetting, the women in conceiving, even as their land is fertile. Furthermore, many of the males are unsound and effeminate of soul, and some even hold in contempt the organs of generation, through the influence of the aspect of the maleficent planets in combination with Venus occidental.

受人统辖时，他们谦卑、胆小、吝啬、能忍耐；统领别人时，则勇敢而气度宏大；但他们一夫多妻、一妻多夫、好色，甚至娶自己的姐妹；男人生育力强，女人易于受孕，正如他们的土地肥沃一样。此外，由于凶星的格局与西入的金星相结合，许多男子灵魂不健全、阴柔，有些甚至轻视生殖器官。

Of these peoples the inhabitants of Cyrenaica and Marmarica, and particularly of Lower Egypt, are more closely familiar to Gemini and Mercury; on this account they are thoughtful and intelligent and facile in all things, especially in the search for wisdom and religion; they are magicians and performers of secret mysteries and in general skilled in mathematics. Those who live in Thebais, the Oasis, and Troglodytica are familiar to Libra and Venus; hence they are more ardent and lively of nature and live in plenty.

这些民族中，昔兰尼加与马尔马里卡的居民，尤其是下埃及的居民，与双子和水星更亲；因此他们深思、聪明，凡事灵巧，尤其在追求智慧与宗教方面；他们是行巫术者、秘仪的主持者，大体上精通数理之学。住在底比斯地区、绿洲与特罗格洛迪提卡的人与天秤和金星有亲缘，所以本性更热情、更活泼，生活富足。

The people of Arabia, Azania, and Middle Ethiopia are familiar to Aquarius and Saturn, for which reason they are flesh-eaters, fish-eaters, and nomads, living a rough, bestial life.

阿拉伯、阿扎尼亚与中埃塞俄比亚的人与水瓶和土星有亲缘，所以他们吃肉、吃鱼、游牧，过着粗野如兽的生活。

Let this be our brief exposition of the familiarities of the planets and the signs of the zodiac with the various nations, and of the general characteristics of the latter. We shall also set forth, for ready use, a list of the several nations which are in familiarity, merely noted against each of the signs, in accordance with what has just been said about them, thus:—

关于诸行星和黄道星座与各民族的亲缘，以及各民族的一般特性，我们的扼要阐述就到这里。为了便于查用，我们再依照刚才所说，把有亲缘的各民族列成一表，只在每个星座下注明，如下：

Now that the subject at hand has been set forth, it is reasonable to attach to this section this further consideration — that each of the fixed stars has familiarity with the countries with which the parts of the zodiac, which have the same inclinations as the fixed stars upon the circle drawn through its poles, appear to exert sympathy; furthermore, that, in the case of metropolitan cities, those regions of the zodiac are most sympathetic through which the sun and moon, and of the centres especially the horoscope, were passing at the first founding of the city, as in a nativity.

本题既已阐明，按理还应在这一节附上进一步的考量：每颗恒星都与某些国家有亲缘：在过黄道两极所画的圆上与该恒星处于同一方位的那部分黄道，看来与哪些国家相感应，该恒星便与那些国家相亲；再者，就大都会而言，最具感应的黄道区域，是初建城时日月以及四角之中尤其是上升点所经过的区域，就像本命一样。

But in cases in which the exact times of the foundations are not discovered, the regions are sympathetic in which falls the mid‑heaven of the nativities of those who held office or were kings at the time.

但若查不到建城的确切时刻，那么感应的区域，便是当时执政者或在位君王的本命盘中天所落之处。
