[a star] not high (غَيْرِ مُرْتَفِعٍ) because of the constancy of the heat attributed to it [at the time of its auroral rising]; the heat becoming intense only at the time of the [auroral] rising of الشِّعْرَى, [meaning Sirius, the star to which allusion is here made,] which is in [correctly after] الجَوْزَآء. (Ṣ. [See الشِّعْرَى.])
