202. As the equation for the sun as well as the equation for the moon is sometimes positive and sometimes negative, and for tithis we have to take the difference between the two equations, some confusion would result from our having to change signs so often. Therefore the sun's equations are tabulated, as in the extract given above, with the signs reversed. That is why the sun's eccentricity, starting from perigee, is shown in the table in Sec. 189 as negative whereas it is really positive.
