On the weight an animal can move by its own strength
No animal can move more weight than the amount lying beyond the centre of its support
A single mechanical maxim written in mirror script, with writing from the other side of the thin leaf showing faintly through. It states that no animal can, simply by itself, move a greater weight than the amount found beyond the centre of its point of support.

Limit of the weight an animal can move
The maxim sets a limit to what an animal can move unaided: no more than the weight lying beyond the centre of its support. The centre of support functions as the pivot, so only the load overhanging it can be shifted by the animal's own force.
