[167] By right ascension, as shown by the Extract, inserted in the Appendix, from the [Tables of Ascensions] in the Almagest. The exact distance, however, according to that Table, is 147° 44′.
[168] Or rather, according to the Table, 102° 39′.
[169] That is to say, of the oblique ascension, which is here required to be reckoned; because the prorogatory and preceding place is in the ascendant. [Vide p. 95], and [Note ² in p. 94.] And the first point of Gemini, on arriving at the ascendant, will be distant from the mid-heaven 102° 39′ by right ascension; the 13th degree of Aquarius being then in culmination in the prescribed latitude. The oblique ascensions in the latitude 30° 22′ N. are also shown in the extract referred to in the preceding note: and it thereby appears, that Aries and Taurus ascend in 45° 5′, instead of 46°.
[170] Or, rather, 57° 44′—by right ascension.—Vide extract above referred to.
[172] Or on the cusp of the 7th House.
[173] Or, rather, 32° 16′—by right ascension again.—Vide extract as before.
[174] By right ascension. The amount according to the Table is, however, 102° 39′, as before stated.
[175] On which the 10th degree of Virgo will then be posited.
[176] By oblique descension and ascension: [Vide p.95].—The Table shows the amount to be 70° 23′.
