| 129 Nov 20 | SOLAR ECLIPSE seen at Hellespont. "And at one time using the eclipse he [Hipparchus] adduced, he assumed that it had the least parallax, and at another time a greater parallax. Hence the ratios of the Moon's distances came out different." (Pappus: Commentary on the Almagest). "Once the Sun was wholly eclipsed in the Hellespont, it was observed in Alexandria to be eclipsed except for the firth part of its diameter, which is, according to the sight, except for two digits and a little more... Now since it is 5,000 stades from Alexandria to Rhodes; besides, proceeding hence to the Hellespont, this will also decrease in proportion, since when the Hellespont is reached, it will entirely vanish."
