| (80) Cum igitur dicebatur: 'Duarum circumferentiarum inequaliter a se distantium impossibile est idem esse centrum'; dico quod verum est, si circumferentie sunt regulares sine gibbo vel gibbis; et cum dicitur in minori quod circumferentia aque et circumferentia terre sunt huiusmodi, dico quod non est verum, nisi per gibbum qui est in terra; et ideo ratio non procedit. | (80) When it was said therefore, 'Two circumferences unequally distant from each other, cannot have a common centre,' I say that this is true, if the circumferences are regular, and without a hump or humps. And when it is said, in the minor, that the circumferences of water and of earth are such, I say that it is not true unless we allow, for the hump on the earth; and so the argument does not run. |
