At the beginning, the stars in the constellation Draco are described. Included is an explanation of their Arabic names. Then the stars of the constellation Ursa Major are treated in a similar manner. Then comes poetry employing imagery derived from the Arabic names of the stars in the constellation Pegasus. The next chapter gives a similar poetic treatment to the sun, Virgo, Aldebaran, Aludra, etc. Then the stars in Leo Minor and Lynx reveal their secrets.
