Anyway, let's assume that the two translations are correct. Then we can say that the 29 EVA characters are mapped into a totally random word ('solitary') and a two-letter word (PJ) that could possibly match the animal illustrated in the medallion but not the zodiac sign of Aries.

EDIT: I found an entry in Steingass that could be related with the 'goat' mentioned here.

حرید would be pronounced Harid, the meaning can also be a star name which I have to check in other books to find the exact star location. Other meaning is solitary,one ,and singular.
حرید: کوکب حرید , منفرد و تنها
There is no B in the manuscript. V and P are the most challenging ones, there are a bunch of words which changed during centuries: changing of the mentioned letters to B is not unfamiliar.
poj /paj resembles to the reader as boj /baj which means goat, and the goat in today's Farsi is called boz:
پج -> بج -> بز
One dictionary used the word sheep to explain goat, as well as wild goat .  The problem is a person may call toad a frog ,but in biology they have different characteristics . Could writer distinguish You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view..and.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.. ? The picture looks like a goat and so we can say the animal is a goat then we go to houses and see Capricorn(جدی) is a goat so we can say that's it. But I am not sure if the sea goat would be drawn as a goat. Certainly boz is not an ox. Between remaining Capricorn and Aries I will choose Capricorn. But is drawing clear enough?
For randomness qualification: we have words in the order, the patterns are deleted and new words are made (three remaining single letters join and produce a word) Now the word makes new pattern with its neighbors, after omission there are no patterns left and we would see meanings. I am applying same process to many paragraphs and till this moment all had worked. I could see the herbal information in plant pages also have matched unexpectedly.
