For the peak of Helicon was not yet washed by springs; but the horse struck it, and the water poured out in abundance from there by the blow of his front foot; and the shepherds were the first to make that drink famous as Hippocrene. But that water flows from the rock, and you will never see it far from the men of Thespiae; but the Hippos revolves in Zeus, and it is yours to behold.
There also are the very swift paths of the Krios Ram, who, even when pursued for the longest circles, runs no weaker than the Cynosuris Arctos Lesser Bear. He himself is sluggish and starless to look upon, like the moon; you could, however, recognize him by the belt of Andromeda; for he is fixed a little beneath it. He rubs the great heaven in the middle, where the Chelae Claws/Scorpion's Claws and the belt of Orion revolve.
There is also another sign fashioned for you near the lower part of Andromeda, which is measured by three stars; Deltoton the Triangle resembles equal sides on both; it is not very large, but it is very easy to find; for it is more starred than many others. A little to the south of these are the stars of the Krios. And those still further, and still in the advances of the south, are the Ichthyes Fishes. But one is always more forward than the other, and he listens more to the north wind just coming down. And the bonds of both are stretched out like the tails of each, going on either side to one point.
