 Certainly, every latitude [of speed] that is acquired or lost uniformly, whether commencing at a non-degree or at any degree, as long as it is limited to some finite degree, corresponds precisely to its own middle degree in such a way that a moving body that uniformly acquires or loses its speed in any given time traverses the distance perfectly equal to the one it would traverse during the same time when moving with [a speed corresponding to] this middle  degree.[43]  (DML 2020: § 26, 276; see also Wilson 1960: 122–23)
