McKirahan's interpretation is shown to suffer from several shortcomings, such as not to account for the stars in the southern part of the heavens. Bicknell's interpretation presupposes that Anaximenes taught adip of the earth as is reported of Leucippus and Democritus. It is argued that this interpretation is wrong, mainly because there did not exist such a thing as a Presocratic theory of a dip of the earth: Leucippus and Democritus taught a tilt of the heavens, just like other Presocratics. Following a suggestion of Wöhrle's, it is argued that what Anaximenes meant to describe was not the actual state of celestial affairs but that before the tilt of the heavens. In the second half of the a
