Anyway Valens said it's nasty descriptions despite having some Capricorn placement [ie: Sun] himself.
It show us how objective he is.

Valens did alter or change anything - Valens remained objective

Introduction to Hellenistic Astrology Part I - Zodiac​

The zodiac completes a sidereal cycle in 23.93446 hours.

The image of the Goat-Horned One is feminine, nocturnal, changeable, watery, amphibian
servile, vocal, infertile, enigmatic, passionate, thievish, incomplete, missing limbs
two-natured, outrageous, sitting and of the south wind.
It indicates inquiries, accusations, separations, water and property.
Depending on the placement of the houseruler, men born under the influence of Capricorn are small, burdened
deviant, lying, pretentious, inventive, unattractive, mysterious because the Goat-Horned One is unintelligible
curious, with sloping face, fine figure, beautiful black eyes, black hair, thick lips, sharp chin
lean, misfortunate, toilsome, unfortunate mistakes, lame, shameful, two-faced
pretending goodness and sincerity, always criticizing, fickle, brutal, criminal, warped
bad, fond of jokes, insomniacs, hunchbacks, sculptors, farmers, with nautical bent and waterside trades
lovers of pleasures, business expediters, initiates in mysteries, plotters of great deeds
and guardians of secret matters.
Domicile of Saturn, exaltation of Mars, depression of Jupiter, it controls the knees, the skeletal system
the lymphatic system and the immune system. It causes skin diseases on account of the rough skin
and blindness on account of the spine. It is like-empowered with Scorpio,
like-ascending with Aries and like-engriding with Aquarius, short in the Northern Hemisphere
and tall in the Southern Hemisphere. It is wintry, cold and moist for the north
and summery, hot and moist for the south. Capricorn obeys Taurus for the north
and commands it for the south. Capricorn controls India, Ariana, Gedrosia, Thrace, Macedonia and Illyria.

The front is rising up to the 7th degree, the head up to the 14th, the belly up to the 22nd
the back up to the 26th, and the tail up to the 30th.

The first 7° belong to Mercury - abdominal birth, dangers, intelligent
The next 7° belong to Jupiter - notable, preservative power
The next 8° belong to Venus - luxury, passionate
The next 4° belong to Saturn - summons, harsh, authoritative
The final 4° belong to Mars - concealments, bonds, flights

Horns - Venus and moderately Mars
Mouth - Saturn and moderately Venus
Feet and Belly - Mars and Mercury
Tail - Saturn and Jupiter

Such, then, are the observations of the effects of the stars
as made by our predecessors.
