《Tetrabiblos》Otherwise Called, The Fruit Of His Four BooksClaudius Ptolemy（Ashmand 英譯 1822）
Shooting stars, and meteors like flowing hair, bear a secondary part in judgments. XCIX. Shooting stars denote the dryness of the air; and, if they are projected to one part only, they indicate wind therefrom: if to various parts, they indicate diminution of waters, a turbulent atmosphere, and incursions of armies.
