Quod in Phedro dicitur dorsum coeli, in Parmenide dicitur unum; quod ibi profundum coeli, hic totum; quod ibi axis coeli, hic terminus.

A stray character 'u' printed on its own line after this thesis in the source (farmer1998:15973) is OCR noise and is omitted.

English

What the Phaedrus calls the back of heaven, the Parmenides calls the one; the deep of heaven there is the whole here; the axis of heaven there is the boundary here.
