This is the second of the five terms, or bounds, into which the Egyptian table divides Pisces. It runs from 12 degrees of the sign to 16, a stretch of 4 degrees held by Jupiter. It opens where Venus's term closes at 12 degrees, and it gives way to Mercury's term at 16 degrees, so a planet moving forward through Pisces leaves Venus's bound and enters Jupiter's at 12 degrees exactly.
Set out in degree order, the five terms of Pisces run Venus (0-12), Jupiter (12-16), Mercury (16-19), Mars (19-28) and Saturn (28-30). This term of 4 degrees sits between the two extremes of the sign, where the widest is Venus's at 12 and the narrowest is Saturn's at 2. The unevenness is not an accident of copying. No sign in the Egyptian table divides its five terms equally, and no two signs divide them the same way, which is why the table has to be consulted rather than derived.
The five rulers are the five planets visible to the naked eye. The sun and moon take no terms at all in this system, so each sign is shared out among Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus and Mercury, every one of them holding exactly one stretch of it. A planet standing anywhere between 12 and 16 degrees of Pisces is standing in Jupiter's bound, and Hellenistic technique reads the lord of the bound from the degree occupied rather than from the sign as a whole. The table this atlas follows is the Egyptian one, transmitted by Vettius Valens in his Anthologies and recorded by Claudius Ptolemy in the Tetrabiblos, which stayed in ordinary use after Ptolemy set out his objections to it and offered boundaries of his own.
