[...] Therefore where the amount of the equation becomes greatest the rate of its increase or decrease will be nothing; or the difference between the mean and true motions equals O. Buena the amount of the equation becomes greatest when the planet roaches the point of the excentric cut by the transverse diameter of the concentric (see the note on verses 15 16 and 17 of Chapter V) the rate of its inc [...] 229 : the sine of the assumed latitude in the plane of the vertical :: the sine of the sun's declination in the plane of the meridian : the sine of the assumed declination in the plane of the vertical.
