Here is an interesting article:

"A Rectification Manual presents evidence favoring Dorothean triplicity rulers and Egyptian bounds and suggests methods for conducting tests on a wider sample."

To follow a two ruler approach to triplicity in natal work, like the early modern English astrologers, would effectively rule out the whole tradition of Dorothean triplicity rulerships dating from the earliest hellenistic astrology and carried on through the Persian, Jewish, Arab and Latin medieval astrologers like Bonatti.

mmm it seemed convincing at the time. However, I have been reading Dorian Greenbaum's translation of Paulus Alexandrinus 'Introductory Matters'. Paulus was a late 4th century astrologer living in the eastern Roman Empire. He is generally regarded as an astrologer in the lineage of Dorotheus and Valens. Its interesting that although he mentions the diurnal and nocturnal triplicity rulers he makes no mention of the participating rulers whatsoever. Similarly the late classical/early medieval text Liber Hermetis attributed to the Hermes Trismegistus also seems to only mention the Dorothean day and night triplicity rulers.

I will clearly need to avoid such sweeping generalisations.
