Escrita en el año 268 como afirma el autor en el texto, la obra se divide en dos partes, en la primera analiza los aspectos antropológicos del nacimiento: origen de la especie, gestación, desarrollo del embrión, cálculo astrológico, duración de la gestación, relación entre música y nacimiento, periodización de la vida. La segunda parte trata del tiempo y su división en años, meses y días. El propio autor reconoce que su obra no es original, sino fruto de su erudición, y cita entre sus fuentes a Varrón y Suetonio. Además del interés medico del libro, la obra destaca además por sus capítulos dedicados a la música (pp. 51-54), al ritmo (pp. 74-75), a la modulación (pp. 76-77) y a la métrica (pp. 77-79).
