Beyond the feet of the Heniochos Charioteer you should seek the horned Taurus Bull. Very similar signs lie for him; such is the head that is distinguished for him. No one could mistake the head of the bull for another sign, such as the stars themselves, wheeling on both sides, fashion it. Indeed, the name of those stars is asked for, and the Hyades the Rainy Ones are not unheard of by you. They are seen on the entire forehead of the Taurus. One star occupies the tip of the left horn and the right foot of the adjacent Heniochos, and they are carried along joined together. But Taurus is always more forward than the Heniochos to descend to the other side, even though he ascended in company.
Neither will the troubled race of Cepheus, son of Iasos, lie unspoken; for their name also came into the heaven, since they were near Zeus. Cepheus himself is behind the Cynosuris Arctos Lesser Bear, appearing to stretch out both hands. An equal plumb line extends for him from the tip of the tail to both feet, as much as extends from foot to foot. But from the belt you might look a little, striving for the first bend of the great Draco Dragon. And before him rolls Cassiopeia, not very bright, appearing in the all-avenging night; for not many and alternating stars make her shine.
