- In the third face of Aries ... He is supposed to have a sword in his right hand and a staff in his left. That's obviously not a staff on the left, it looks more like a lumpy sack full of something. He is said to be clad in red garments.

So that sack-like thing in his hand might be red garments (I would never have guessed), which would match more closely to the Arabic version than to the text that actually accompanies the drawing.

Might this indicate that this drawing actually accompanied an earlier version of the text? As I mentioned on JKP's blog, there is a clear Jewish influence in them - see Beth Alpha mosaics.
