The third book of Dorotheus which he wrote with respect to the haylijand the kadhkhudah, which are the governor and the indicator of thetime of the years of life.

In the name of God, the compassionate, the merciful. [Here] beginsthe third book of Dorotheus which he wrote with respect to the haylajand the kadhkhudah, which are the governor and the indicator of thetime of the years of life. At the beginning of this he says: consider Saturn, Jupiter, andMars. If you find them eastern or in one of [their] stations
1, [thenthey are used], but if they are under the Sun's rays in the degree ofthe Sun, then this is not counted
2, [or if it is] western. If youfind them seven days before the nativity or seven days after it in thepositions which I named for you in the term of [one of] these three,then it will be governor of the nativity.    heliacalrising  $%&'(

A planet is eastern if it is behind the Sun and western if it isbetween its [the Sun's] hands.

And its commingling is such that youshould look at the planet which is in the Ascendant or in theMidheaven; if it has any dignity in the [ place of] the Hyleg bydomicile, exaltation, triplicity or bound, it will be called a sharer,that is, it will be similar to it and it(*) will be held more worthythan a planet which has one part, that is , one dignity.” (*alcocoden?) ³utu” Primary Directions Now I will explain to you the length of life and the number ofyears as I attempt [to compute it]. because sometimes you will want toconsider it in a horoscopic diagram as I will show you. The native wasborn in the ninety- sixth year of the years of Darinus [Diocletian] inthe month Mihr on the second day in one and a half equinoctial hours ofdaylight. I wanted to know the places of the haylaj among which he wasborn because they are five places, and none of the planets was in themexcept in the ascendant in which the Sun was; and it is the best of theplaces.

But I calculated for this nativity from the degrees of the ascendant,and its degrees progress in the clime in which the native was born,which is the fourth clime. Saturn is in Taurus four degrees and thirtyminutes, so it is casting rays from sextile to five degrees of Pisces.Because the ascendant is in eighteen degrees count from the ascendantto the rays of Saturn, and it does not come down to it. Then Mars inTaurus twenty-four degrees and fifty minutes casts rays to twenty-fivedegrees of Pisces.  Jov 0 &ªwx‘0ûasc Jwx’0û

Ð Because Venus [is] in this term, it dissolves the fear and miserythat Mars indicates and he will not die, but this misery will pass byhim because whenever the rays of the benefics are found with the raysof the malefics, then the benefic dissolves whatever the maleficindicates; but if the malefic and its term cast rays without thebenefics, then it will not be long before he dies.
