 What moves continuously is that which has no gap at all, or a minimal, in that thing (pragma: maʻnà) in which its motion happens, nor [a gap] in time. A gap [in time] does not prevent the [highest] musical note Zīr (neatē) from coming after the [lowest] musical note Bam (hypatē) in place. I mean only the thing in which motion happens, and this is evident in movements that happen in place as well as in all others. (Ṭabīʻa [1964: 540–541]; cf. Phys. V.3, 226b27–32)
