BKT IX 129 (P. 21225)

The interpretation of horoscopes and the prediction of the future of the newborn were usually not recorded in writing. However, astrologers could consult handbooks, of which this Greek fragment is an example. In these treatises, the combined influences of the planets were analysed according to their position in the zodiac. For a person born under the influence of Jupiter and Venus, the following prediction was made:

“Honoured by the people (…) wise, discerning and (…) prosperous.”
