Climates

As for the description of climates, you tell me that I should have described them precisely; I marvel that you did not answer for me. For, if we, in this our hemisphere have the beginning, the middle, and the end of each climate, and the planets move through their orbits in one hemisphere as in the other, and the stars of the eighth sphere [...], you might have answered that the beginning, middle, and end of the first and the seventh climate are in that latitude of the equator as they are in this our hemisphere. And on this subject let this suffice.
