Chapter 29: On moments and hours

1. Time is divided into moments, hours, days, months, years, lusters, generations (_saecula_), ages. A moment is the least and briefest time, so-called from the motion (_motu_) of the stars.

2. ... _Hora_ is a Greek name and still has a Latin sound. For _hora_ is a limit (_finis_) of time, just as _horae_ are the limits of the sea and of streams and the borders of garments.[304]

[304] _Hora_ (hour) and _ora_ (coast or border) are confused.
