Εἰ δὲ καὶ πρὸς ἕτερον ἔχει ῥοπὴν ὁ κύκλος, ὁμοίως δὲ εὐκίνητος, καὶ ἄλλην ἂν ἔχοι ῥοπὴν ὁ κύκλος καὶ τὰ ὑπὸ κύκλου κινούμενα, κἂν μὴ τῇ ἁψῖδι ἅπτηται τοῦ ἐπιπέδου, ἀλλ’ ἢπαρὰ τὸ ἐπίπεδον, ἢ ὡςαἱ τροχιλέαι· καὶ γὰρ οὕτως ἔχοντα ῥᾷστα κινοῦνται καὶ κινοῦσι τὸ βάρος. Ἥ οὐ τῷ κατὰ μικρὸν ἅπτεσθαι καὶ προσκρούειν, ἀλλὰ δι’ ἄλλην αἰτίαν.
