τοῦ γὰρ οὐρανοῦ συνεχῶς καὶ ἀπαύστως ἀεὶ κύκλῳ περιπολοῦντος, ἀνάγκη τῶν ἡμισφαιρίων ἑκάτερον ἀντιμεθίστασθαι παρ’ ἡμέραν ἄνω τε καὶ κάτω γινόμενον ὅσα τῷ δοκεῖν· ἄνω γὰρ καὶ κάτω πρὸς ἀλήθειαν οὐδὲν ἐν σφαίρᾳ, πρὸς δὲ τὴν ἡμετέραν σχέσιν αὐτὸ μόνον εἴωθε λέγεσθαι τὸ μὲν ὑπὲρ κεφαλῆς ἄνω, κάτω δὲ τοὐναντίον.
