The true position of the Earth’s shadow is said to be the sum of the true position of the Sun and a half-circle (180 degrees). Having determined the position of the Moon and the [Earth’s] shadow either at sunrise or at sunset, whichever is closer [to the conjunction], the time of their conjunction may be determined. If [the longitude of] the Moon is greater then the conjunction is over, and if it is less then it is yet to occur.

摘要

The true position of the Earth’s shadow is said to be the sum of the true position of the Sun and a half-circle (180 degrees). Having determined the position of the Moon and the [Earth’s] shadow either at sunrise or at sunset, whichever is closer [to the conjunction], the time of their conjunction may be determined. If [the longitude of] the Moon is greater then the conjunction is over, and if it is less then it is yet to occur.
