Ptolemy's Tetrabiblos in the translation of William of Moerbeke, 2015: page 56-57 (paraphrase attributed to Proclus; there are no arguments to attribute it to Proclus; it is transmitted anonymously in the oldest manuscript (Vat. gr. 1453), dating from the 10th century and a later hand added in the margin the attribution to Proclus; the intention of the author was to provide a more readable and understandable version of the often obscure and tortured phrasology of Ptolemy; editors of the present work refer to this text as the Proclus Paraphrase)
