Now I don't know what Mr. Coletti means asking me about Analemma, anyway in my response to him I referred, of course, on the latin word used by Vitruve, that is what Mr. de Vries expains. In my response to Mr. Ronit Maoz I meant the Vitruve's analemma, of course. I'm sorry if I got someone in mind's confusion, but for me It was obvious to mean that analemma speeking on Greek and Roman sundials.
