Note 548 — BOOK II. AN ACCOUNT OF THE WORLD AND THE ELEMENTS. (continued 2)
John Bostock translation
“Quæ pendent.” M. Ajasson translates this passage, “qui sont comme suspendues.” Hardouin’s explanation is, “Structis fornice cameris imposita ædificia intelligit; quod genus camerarum spiramenta plerumque habet non pauca, quibus exeat ad libertatem aer.” Lemaire, i. 407.
