tertius in media mundi regione locatus ingenti spira totum praecingit Olympum parte ab utraque videns axem, qua lumine Phoebus componit paribus numeris noctemque diemque veris et autumni currens per tempora mixta, cum medium aequali distinguit limite caelum; quattuor et gradibus sua fila reducit ab aestu.
A third circle, set in the midmost region of the sky, girds with a huge ring the full circuit of heaven and sees a pole on either side; here with his light the Sun matches night and day in hours of equal number as he passes through the tempered seasons of spring and autumn and divides the middle of heaven with impartial boundary; this circle withdraws its track four degrees away from that of the summer solstice.
