qui cum excellentissimus omnium perhibeatur, tamen altitudinem perpendiculo si metiare, ut geometrae autumant, <decem> stadia altitudo fastigii non aequiperat, cum sit aeris agmen immensum usque ad citimam lunae helicem, quae porro aetheris sursum versus exordium est.
though it is rightly believed to be the highest of all mountains, yet if you could measure its height perpendicularly, so the surveyors tell us, the height of its summit is less than ten stades, whereas there is an immeasurable volume of air up to the nearest orbit of the moon, where the ether merely begins its upward expanse.
