Hi autem inveniuntur raro, ut aliquando fuerunt Aristarchus Samius, Philolaus et Archytas Tarentini, Apollonius Pergaeus, Eratosthenes Cyrenaeus, Archimedes et Scopinas ab Syracusis, qui multas res organicas, gnomonicas numero naturalibusque rationibus inventas atque explicatas posteris reliquerunt.
Such men, however, are rarely met. We can point to Aristarchus of Samos; Philolaus and Archytas of Tarentum; Apollonius of Perga; Eratosthenes of Cyrene; Archimedes and Scopinas from Syracuse. They have left to after times many treatises on machinery and clocks, in which mathematics and natural laws are used to discover and explain.
