Καὶ πρὸς τούτοις ἔτι καθ’ ὃν τόπον πυκνότατα, καὶ πλεῖστα καὶ τυγχάνουσιν ὄντα τῶν ἄστρων. Καὶ τοῦτο τεκμήριον ποιεῖται τοῦ κομήτην εἶναι τὸν γαλαξίαν ἐκ τῆς ἀναθυμιάσεως τῆς εἰρημένης ὡς ἐξ ὑλικοῦ αἰτίου γενόμενον· καθ’ ὃν γὰρ τόπον αὐτοῦ μέγιστά τέ ἐστιν ἄστρα καὶ πυκνότατα, κατὰ τοῦτον μάλιστα πολὺ τὸ γάλα καὶ λαμπρότατον φαίνεται, καὶ ὁ τούτου κύκλος ἐπαναδιπλοῦται· διὰ γὰρ τὴν ἀπὸ τῶν ἀστέρων θερμασίαν ἀναθυμίασις ἐκεῖ πολλὴ ἀθροίζεται, ἐξ ἧς οἱ κομῆται συνεστᾶσιν. ἐν ᾧ δὲ μήτε μεγάλα ἐστὶν ἄστρα μήτε πολλὰ καὶ πυκνά, ἐν τούτῳ καὶ τὸ φῶς ἔλαττον καὶ ἀμυδρότερον, καὶ διπλόην ὁ κύκλος οὐδεμίαν ἔχει.
