Quippe etenim primum terrai corpora quaeque, propterea quod erant gravia et perplexa, coibant in medio atque imas capiebant omnia sedes; quae quanto magis inter se perplexa coibant, tam magis expressere ea quae mare sidera solem lunamque efficerent et magni moenia mundi; omnia enim magis haec e levibus atque rutundis seminibus multoque minoribu sunt elementis quam tellus.
For in plain fact firstly all the bodies of earth, being heavy and entangled, came together in the midst and all took the lowest place; and the more entangled they came together, the more they squeezed out those particles which could make sea, stars, sun, and moon and the walls of the great world; for these were all made of seeds more smooth and more round and far smaller elements than the earth.
