Something I think lost in this discussion is that people of the time did not
care about the unequal hours -- the entire sense of time was different --
and until they understood the effect of the Earth's inclination, they could
not build sundials to indicate equal-length hours.

 

Until a sundial is aligned with the Earth's axis of rotation, or at least
you know that inclination and compensate for it in some manner, the hours
measured will be unequal in length and vary throughout the year.

 

If one of the sundial gurus wants to chime in and correct me please do.
Having built a hemicyclium that DID correctly compensate for the
inclination, I think I have this right.
