Igitur cum sol fuerit in capricorni, orbiculi lingula in maioris tympani parte ex capricorni cotidie singula puncta tangens, ad perpendiculum habens aquae currentis vehemens pondus, celeriter per orbiculi foramen id extrudit ad vasum excipiens eam. cum brevi spatio impletur, corripit et contrahit dierum spatia et horarum. cum autem cotidiana versatione minoris tympani lingula ingrediatur in aquarii puncta, discedens foramen a perpendiculo et aquae vehementi cursu cogitur tardius emittere salientem. ita quo minus celeri cursu vas excipit aquam, dilatat horarum spatia.
