《Tetrabiblos》Otherwise Called, The Fruit Of His Four BooksClaudius Ptolemy（Ashmand 英譯 1822）
LIX. Before pronouncing that an absent person shall die, observe whether he may not become intoxicated; before declaring that he shall receive a wound, see whether he may not be let blood; and before saying that he shall find treasure, examine whether he may not receive his own deposit; for the figures of all these things may be similar.
