non enim aliter finiri potest,

i. e. its extent cannot be described more accurately, id. ib. 6, 25, 1; so too is to be explained the disputed passage: hoc autem sphaerae genus, in quo solis et lunae motus inessent... in illa sphaera solida non potuisse finiri, this sort of (movable) celestial globe... could not be defined, marked out, on that solid globe (of Thales), Cic.

Cic. Or. 51, 170.— Sup.:
