Levente, does Mathesis 4.25 imply that aspects (applications and separations) are blocked by sign boundaries? And are there other Hellenistic sources that imply this?

Does it indicate some kind of ...

Hi Dimitar,

Of course, we would be better informed about the issue if someone took up the arduous task to sift through the published texts so that every elucidating passage on the exact meaning of ...

I've skipped this:

1. Are the constellations interchangeable with the signs in most authors, and isn't this plain clear from the term zoidion?

They are, it is. Smile

Ptolemy might have thought of the tropical frame when talking about the sign in its entirety, and the constellational when describing its parts. At least this is how the commentators seem to interpret ...
