Bearing in mind both the capacity of man and his limits, the author of Prorrheticon 2 states his opposition to irrational prognoses and brings forward the sêmeia as the only basis for a correct prognostic. He does so by enhancing his statements by means of structure (ring-composition, psychological structure of recurrence) and style: in this field he uses several devices aimed to attract the reader's attention, putting together colloquial and high-level expressions. In this paper a similar stylistic technique is intended in order to illustrate the points of the Greek author.
《预言书2》的作者牢记人类的能力及其局限，表明他反对不合理的预测，并提出症状作为正确预测的唯一依据。他通过结构（环形结构、循环的心理结构）和风格来强化自己的论述做到这一点：在这方面，他使用了几种旨在吸引读者注意力的手法，将口语化表达和高级表达结合在一起。在本文中，为了阐明这位希腊作者的观点，也采用了类似的文体技巧。
