καὶ αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ ἀμφορεὺς οὐχ ὡσαύτως ῥυήσεται πλήρης καθεστώς, ὡσαύ- τως δὲ ἡμίκενος ἢ πρὸς τῷ κενοῦσθαι τυγχάνων, ἀλλʼ ὁτὲ μὲν ὀξύτερον ὁτὲ δὲ |βραδύτερον ὁτὲ δὲ μέσως, τῆς οὐρανίου φορᾶς ἰσοταχῶς διὰ παντὸς ἐλαυνομένης.

The amphora itself will not flow in the same way when full, half-empty, and close to being emptied, but at one time more rapidly, at another more slowly, and at another at an intermediate rate, while the heavenly motion is driven at equal speed throughout.

L’amphore elle-même ne s’écoulera pas de la même manière lorsqu’elle est pleine, à moitié vide ou presque vide, mais tantôt plus vite, tantôt plus lentement, tantôt à une vitesse moyenne, alors que le mouvement céleste poursuit toujours sa course à vitesse égale.
