Meaning

Law keeps Nature’s stability unwavering and free from faction at LXIV.4. The balance-image concerns dependable order, not a universe deprived of motion. The apparatus attributes printed neuter ἀκλινές to Stephanus against ἀκλινῆ, a grammatical choice that should not be concealed by the smooth English adjective.
