Hunc exordia sunt solis lunaeque secuta, interutrasque globi quorum vertuntur in auris; quae neque terra sibi adscivit nec maximus aether, quod neque tam fuerunt gravia ut depressa sederent, nec levia ut possent per summas labier oras; et tamen interutrasque ita sunt ut corpora viva versent et partes ut mundi totius extent; quod genus in nobis quaedam licet in statione membra manere, tamen cum sint ea quae moveantur.
This was followed by the beginnings of sun and moon, whose globes revolve in the air between the two; which neither earth nor the great ether adopted to itself, because they were neither so heavy as to sink down and settle, nor so light that they could glide through the uppermost regions, and yet they remain between both in such fashion that they revolve like living bodies and abide as parts of the whole world; in the same way as in us some members may remain at rest, while yet there are others moving.
