In Libra parium brachiorum sint in aequilibrio pondus D

vero transmittat uibi ergo aqua vasculum implevert;
descendet et durante descensu vasculi F, cum pondus ejus
no non amplius sustineatur a pondere D, vincet hoc pondus
a vase E, neque adeo a pondere D Descendet pondus d, et
ascendet vas E donec ad aequi vasculum F fundum

Hinc colligitur causa paradoxi, cur aer
