The Moon itself would move uniformly (with some mean motion in anomaly) on a secondary circular orbit, called an epicycle, that itself would move uniformly (with some mean motion in longitude) over the main circular orbit around the Earth, called deferent; see deferent and epicycle.
Sam Mjesec bi se kretao jednoliko (sa srednjim gibanjem tijekom anomalije) na sekundarnoj kružnoj orbiti, nazvanoj epicikl, koji bi se i sam kretao jednoliko (sa srednjim gibanjem u dužini) duž glavne kružne orbite oko Zemlje, nazvane deferent; vidi deferent i epicikl.
