### 1

SCHOLIA PERUSINA τω[ ράτρ[ οὖν φησιν[ καὶ ἀστραπα[ὶ δόκα ἄνεμον. καὶ[ ἀσελήνῳ. ὅτε δοκοῦ[ τινὲς διὰ ξηρότητα . [ αὐτῶν λευκαὶ φαίνονται ..[ πνεῦμα τὴν αὐτὴν ἐκείνοις ὁδὸν ἐ[ οἷον ἐὰν ἐπὶ τὰ βόρεια φαίν . [ ἐκεῖθεν προσδόκα ἄνεμον ἢ (?) βορ[ ἐὰν δὲ πρὸς τὰ νότια, νότον.

ἐὰν δὲ ἄλλοι φησὶν ἄνεμοι (sic) ἐναν[τίον] τῶν προειρημένων ὁρμῶσι, καὶ ἄλλοι ἐξ ἄλλων μερῶν, παντοίους ἀνέμους προσδόκα, ἀτάκτως τῇδε κἀκεῖσε πνεύσοντας, οἳ καὶ δύσκριτοι τοῖς ἀνθρώποις εἰσὶ τεκμήρασθαι τού τοις διὰ τὸ ἄτακτα πνέειν.

### 3

ἐπειδὰν δέ φησιν ἐκ τοῦ εὔρου καὶ τοῦ νότου ἀστράπτῃ, ἄλλοτε δὲ ἐκ ζεφύρου καὶ βορέου, τότε ὁ ἐν πελάγει ναύτης φοβεῖται μὴ ἄρα περιέξῃ καὶ περικλύσῃ αὐτόν. τῇ μέν (936), ἀντὶ τοῦ ἔνθεν μὲν τὸ πέλαγος ἤγουν κάτωθεν, ἔνθεν δὲ ὁ τοῦ Διὸς ὄμβρος, ἤγουν ἄνωθεν. αἱ γὰρ ἀστραπαὶ αὗται σφοδρὸν ὑετὸν δηλοῦσιν.
