Translation
[Note] that Helenos wrote down [sc. the principles of] divination based on palmistry, as when we say from the folds of the stretched-out palm of the hands, [someone] is begetting a child or anything like that.
Greek original
Χειροσκοπικόν· ὅτι Ἕλενος συνέγραψε τὸ χειροσκοπικὸν οἰώνισμα· ὡς ὅταν τῆς ἐκτάσεως τῶν χειρῶν τῆς παλάμης ἀπὸ τῶν ῥυτίδων εἴπωμεν, παιδοποιεῖ ἤ τι τοιοῦτον.
