《Tetrabiblos》Peculiarities Observable Throughout Every Entire ClimateClaudius Ptolemy（Ashmand 英譯 1822）
Again, the natives of those countries which lie towards the east excel in courage, acting boldly and openly under all circumstances; for in all their characteristics they are principally conformed to the Sun’s nature, which is oriental, diurnal, masculine and dexter—(and it is plainly apparent that the dexter parts of all animals are much stronger than others)—hence results the greater courage of the inhabitants of the East.
