Αὕτη δέ ἐστιν ἡ εἰρημένη πρότερον, ὅτι ἐκ δύο φορῶν γεγένηται ὁ κύκλος, ὥστε μίαν αὐτῶν αἰεὶ ἔχειν ῥοπήν, καὶ οἶον φερόμενον αὐτὸν αἰεὶ κινοῦσιν οἱ κινοῦντες, ὅταν κινῶσι κατὰ τὴν περιφέρειαν ὁπωσοῦν, Φερομένην γὰρ αὐτὴν κινοῦσιν· τὴν μὲν γὰρ εἰς τὸ πλάγιον αὐτοῦ κίνησιν ὠθεῖ τὸ κινοῦν, τὴν δὲ ἐπὶ τῆς διαμέτρου αύτὸς κινεῖται.
