In the month of iyyōr (May) a white sign was seen in the sky, before early twilight, in the north-east [quarter], in the Zodiac [sign] which is called Aries, to the north from these three stars in it, which are very shining. And it resembled in its shape a broom, while it was still in the same Aries at its end in/at the initial degree [of] the second [sign] (i.e. Taurus) from these wandering stars, Kronos (Saturn) and Ares (Mars), like somehow a bit to the south, on [day] 22 in the same month. And the sign itself remained for fifteen nights, until dawn of the feast of Pentecost. And [at] its one end/tip, the narrow one, a very bright star was seen at its head/end/tip. And it was tilting to the north side, but the other wide and very dark one was tilting to the south side, and it was going bit by bit to the North-East [direction]. Its shape is as follows [pointing to the drawing]. However, at the beginning of [the] third [day] after Pentecost, it was seen again at evening time, from the north-west [quarter] and it remained for twenty-five evenings. And it was going bit by bit to the south ܀ And it again disappeared. And then it returned [and] was seen in the south-west [quarter], and thus there it remained for many days.
