《Tetrabiblos》Peculiarities Observable Throughout Every Entire ClimateClaudius Ptolemy（Ashmand 英譯 1822）
Among the nations comprehended in this division, those verging towards the south are more industrious and ingenious than the others, and more adapted to the sciences: and these qualifications are engendered in them by the vicinity of the zodiac to their zenith, and by the familiarity thus subsisting between them and the planets moving in the zodiac, which familiarly gives activity and an intellectual impulse to their minds.
