Item si vasum ex creta factum non coctum in ea fossione eadem ratione opertum positum fuerit, si is locus aquam habuerit, cum apertum fuerit, vas umidum erit et iam dissolvetur ab umore. vellusque lanae si conlocatum erit in ea fossura, insequenti autem die de eo aqua expressa erit, significabit eum locum habere copiam. non minus si lucerna concinnata oleique plena et accensa in eo loco operta fuerit conlocata et postero die non erit exusta, sed habuerit reliquias olei et enlychnii ipsaque umida invenietur, indicabit eum locum habere aquam, ideo quod omnis tepor ad se ducit umores. item in eo loco ignis factus si fuerit et percalefacta terra et adusta vaporem nebulosum ex se suscitaverit, is locus habebit aquam.
