Ὁρίζων κύκλος ἐστίν, ὃς καὶ αὐτὸς διὰ μέσου τέμνει τὴν σφαῖραν εἴς τε τὸ ἀφανὲς καὶ τὸ φαινόμενον, ἀφʼ οὗ καὶ ὁρίζων ἐκλήθη. διαφοραὶ δὲ τῶν ὁριζόντων πλείους· ὁ μὲν γὰρ ἔστι διὰ τῶν πόλων τῆς σφαίρας, ὁ δὲ ὀρθὸς πρὸς τὸν ἄξονα· καὶ ὅσαι εἰσὶ διαφοραὶ τῶν ὁριζόντων, τοσαῦται διαφοροὶ καὶ θέσεις τῆς σφαίρας τυγχάνουσιν.
