Thank you, mr William Hamblen.

This is not what you wanted from Plutarch's essay SENTIMENTS
CONCERNING NATURE, WITH WHICH PHILOSOPHERS WERE DELIGHTED (Project
Gutenberg):

Aristarchus placeth the sun amongst the fixed
stars, and believeth that the earth [the moon?] is moved about the
sun, and that by its inclination and vergency it intercepts its
light and shadows its orb.

I found through Google an electronic copy of the Book you suggested. I
couldn't find there what I wanted.

I will check the book of Dreyer, although the introduction of
Psammites(=Sand Reckoner aka Arenarius) by Archimedes is perfectly
clear.

Thank you, Bud!

Sounds like you've gotten some useful help from Bud...

Don't give up on Brian yet...

He's quite capable of answering this sort of question or pointing you in the
right direction...

Sadly, this is a bit beyond my range, without actually sitting down and
researching the question further, as much as it hurts to admit it...

C'mon Brian!!!
