Both are naturally even in points in the part of the Judge original: "Di."; likely an abbreviation for "Iudex," the 15th figure; they cannot produce an unequal Judge. If they are equal, they produce an even sum; if they are unequal, they produce one point this refers to the geomantic rule where two even lines or two odd lines result in an even line, while one of each results in an odd line. This is why the 15th figure cannot be odd, but must altogether be even. Therefore, if it is odd, it is false in some part of the preceding figures. If one Witness the 13th and 14th figures used to create the Judge is odd and the other was even, then it is said that there is an error above in the figures. Wherefore, if the Witnesses are discordant in parity or in disparity, it is a sign that an error was made in some figure above, following the natural course. If this occurs, it must be resolved by the fault of the master, who erred in that single figure alone, and thus it will be a fault deserving of penalty.

It should be known that these geomantic figures are only sixteen and no more nor fewer, because of the two possibilities for each of the four elements. Each element has its own figure: namely Fire cluster of four red dots in a 2x2 square, Air cluster of four red dots in a vertical column, Water cluster of four red dots in a diamond shape, and Earth cluster of four red dots in a 2x2 square. For this reason, these four primary figures are accepted and called "simple" because they only have four points referring to the four lines that make up a standard geomantic figure. The remaining twelve naturally represent the twelve signs of the heavens the Zodiac. Because twelve figures are halfway above the earth and twelve are halfway in the firmament?, I speak in God's name concerning the figures: six of them are direct and fixed?, where one is the contradictory of the other, as they are called appropriately. Likewise, we say of the figures that six are Entering and Fixed, and six are Exiting and Mobile. Which ones these are is clear in the table above. And I say by grace why some are Entering and Fixed and why some are Exiting and Mobile: we say this is because of the motion of the heavens. Those figures that are above the earth representing entering are direct and fixed, and those that are exiting are highest? and mobile because they do not preserve their state. For those that are below the earth are mobile and exiting, but are guided above the earth by another similarity of their kind; and thus above the earth they are fixed and direct, of which this is the example:
