1.a invisible visual perception

Διόπερ οὐδὲ ῥητέον αὐτὰς κυρίως ἐκλείψεις, ἀλλ’ ἐπιπροσθήσεις. Τοῦ μὲν γὰρ ἡλίου οὐδὲ ἕν μέρος οὐδέποτε ἐκλείψει· ἡμῖν δὲ ἀθεώρητος γίνεται διὰ τὴν ἐπιπρόσθησιν τῆς σελήνης.

‘And therefore, it should not be said that these [solar eclipses] are ‘failings’ in the proper sense, but rather ‘coverings’. For not one part of the Sun will ever ‘fail’: it becomes invisible to us due to the covering by the Moon.’

— Geminus 10.2

Genre: astronomy Date: 1st century BCE
