APIS Translation (English)

To the salesman it means payment (...), to the rich man expenses. If the right cheek twitches, it means an unexpected offence. Make a propitiating sacrifice to Helios. If the left cheek twitches, it means something good. If the right jaw twitches, it means joy and something good.
