## Text

### 1

CIC. Acad. Pr. II 39, 123 Hicetas Syracusius, ut ait Theophrastus [ Phys. Opin. fr. 18, D. 492], caelum solem lunam stellas, supera denique omnia stare censet neque praeter terram rem ullam in mundo moveri: quae cum circum axem se summa celeritate convertat et torqueat, eadem effici omnia quae si stante terra caelum moveretur.

### 2

AËT III 9, 1. 2 (D. 376) Θαλῆς καὶ οἱ ἀπ’ αὐτοῦ μίαν εἶναι τὴν γῆν, Ἱκέτης ὁ Πυθαγόρειος δύο, ταύτην καὶ τὴν ἀντίχθονα.
