Signs that see and hear each other

In Matheseos Libri VIII, by Firmicus Maternus I have found a chapter describing which sings see and/or hear each other.
It's different than usual system of sings that see each other and sings that don't.

Has anyone tested this method, is it reliable?

Hi Petra

The seeing and hearing signs are related to the concept of antiscia and contra-antiscia. If you are interested in knowing more about their origin and early use, you might find this link of interest: http://www.skyscript.co.uk/antiscia.html
