This text is numbered 11 (oh) in the present collection.
A horoscope diagram is drawn in the lower gutter margin of f. 121v.
Begins (f. 120v, lines 7-11):
...Her sight is Saturn in time
Spring indicates cold, shortage (?), and illness of pregnant women, even if they look like them
In the summer, it indicates poisonous winds, even if they appear over a period of time
Autumn indicates a decrease in the load of trees, even if they appear over a period of time
Winter indicates extreme cold
Ends (f. 121v, lines 1-3):
Winter indicates excessive cold, even if it is seen by the moon
In all quarters of the year, it indicates a reversal of things
And it changes and people move
