Notes

There is uncertainly concerning which translation of Menelaus' Spherics Māhānī may have used. We here follow Sidoli's argument [2019] that its likely source was the anonymous translation recently edited by Rashed/Papadopolulos [2017]. Rashed/Papadopolulos hold that this anonymous translation is not related to the Māhānī "correction."
