Note 706 — Chapter V
W. (William) Falconer translation
We have followed the suggestion of Gosselin in reading τῷ ὅλῳ, the whole, instead of τῷ πόλῳ, the pole, as in the text. Strabo having just previously stated that the axis of the earth was stationary, it does not seem probable that he would immediately after speak of the motion of the pole.
