3 | levari pondus maior circulus |
|
greater circle Explanation: Unless 'maius' is to be taken with 'pondus', which does not seem likely, it is probably a typographical error for 'maior'. In any case, Aristotle wrote no such work; Frederick is most probably referring to a work by Archimedes or Aristarchus. |
