Those born in Libra will be of the following description: hair thin, drooping, reddish and longish, forehead pointed (and) wrinkled, fair compact eyebrows, beautiful eyes, dark pupils, long thin ears, head inclined, wide mouth. The same by nature are intelligent, God-fearing, communicative to one another,208    Or, “speaking falsehoods, they will be believed.” traders, toilers, not retaining gain, liars, not of an amiable disposition, in business or principle true, free-spoken, beneficent, illiterate, deceivers, friendly, careless, (to whom it is not profitable to do any act of injustice);209    The parenthetical words are obviously an interpolation. they are scorners, scoffers, satirical,210    Or, “spies.” illustrious, listeners, and nothing succeeds with these; as regards friendship, useful.
