For Mars and the rest, the Sighra-epicycles at the end of the even quadrants are 235, 133, 70, 262, and 39.
Modern Technical Commentary:
Defines the second large epicycle (Sighra) used for the star-planets. This epicycle accounts for the relative motion of the Earth and the planet (the 'conjunction' or synodic effect).

Corrected to match Burgess (1935) Table D.
Mercury and Venus have large Sighra cycles as the 'Sighrocca'
is their own orbital motion.
Format: [Even, Odd] in degrees.
