[62] ὁμαλώτατος, aequabilis, Cr., “homogeneous.”
[63] Lit., “whatever changes.”
[64] Planets. See n. on p. [36] supra.
[65] διὰ πλάτος. Cruice translates ob latitudinem, Macmahon “through expanse of space.”
[66] μετεωριζόμενου. See n. on p. [42] supra.
[67] So Diog. Laert., II, vit. Anaxim., c. 1. This is the feature of Anaximenes’ teaching which seems to have most impressed the Greeks.
[68] παχυθέντα.
[69] Diog. Laert., ubi cit., puts Anaximander in the 58th Olympiad (548 B.C.) and Anaximenes in the 63rd. This is more probable than the dates in our text. For Anaximenes’ sources, mostly Aetius and Theophrastus, see Diels’ conspectus mentioned in n. on p. [43] supra.
[70] τὴν δὲ ὕλην γινομένην, fieri materiam, Cr.
[71] τῆς ἐγκυκλίου κινήσεως. Macmahon says “orbicular,” but it means if anything centripetal and centrifugal, as appears in next sentence.
