English: An ancient Greek sentence from the description of the heliocentric model in Archimedes' work The Sand Reckoner, based on the work by Aristarchus of Samos: ΤΑ ΜΕΝ ΑΠΛΑΝΕΑ ΤΩΝ ΑΣΤΡΩΝ ΚΑΙ ΤΟΝ ΑΛΙΟΝ ΜΕΝΕΙΝ ΑΚΙΝΗΤΟΝ ΤΑΝ ΔΕ ΓΑΝ ΠΕΡΙΦΕΡΕΣΘΑΙ ΠΕΡΙ ΤΟΝ ΑΛΙΟΝ (ta men aplanea ton astron kai ton halion menein akineton, tan de gan periferesthai peri ton alion), meaning "the fixed stars and the Sun remain unmoved, while the Earth revolves about the Sun".
