On the twenty seventh and twenty eighth, it betokens all joy [and removal of?] all anguish and uneasiness; it promises tranquillity and gladness. On the twenty ninth also as before. On the thirtieth, before two days pass, the dream shall be fulfilled without vexations.
If a man is born when the moon is one day old, he shall be long lived and wealthy. If he is born when it is two days old, he shall be always sickly and unhealthy.
