Geminos distinguishes the twelve 30-degree signs from the constellations of the same names and corrects the popular confusion directly. This site cites the book for that distinction but does not quote the passage: the chapter and section reference in circulation is corroborated only from secondary sources quoting the translation, and has not been checked against the printed text.
