Abstract
Mars circles the earth in a larger orbit, indeed, than the earth’s (ERRATUM read “at” for “ut”) but in a smaller one than Jupiter’s, Its course around the sun takes almost two years (or one Egyptian year which is about 321 days, while its sidereal year is completed on the following day or night.)
