According to this text, if the moon is in Cancer at the start of the Sothic year, there will be a brief period of good winds from the north followed by a litany of disasters, including widespread diseases (inflammation, smallpox, ophthalmia), shipwrecks, lunar eclipses, deaths among leaders, discord among nobles, fighting in Egypt and Syria, threats to the king's life, and displacement of populations from Sudan. Agricultural fortunes will be mixed: there will be abundant fish, figs, grapes, and flax, but scarce olives, blighted legumes, and death of animals in Alexandria and the Maghrib. […]
The bottom few lines of recto (ll. 14–17) begin a new section of prognostications for when the moon is in Leo. The winds will blow from the west for several days, and there will be drowning or shipwrecks.
