Itaque quadratum circulo inscriptum erit ad circulum, sicut latus illius quadrati ad potestatem diametri altissimam adplicatam ad id quod fit continue sub apotomis laterum octogoni, hexdecagoni, polygoni triginta duorum laterum, sexagintao quatuor, centum viginti octo, ducentorum quinquaginta sex,& reliquorum omnium in ea ratione angulorum laterumve
Thus a square inscribed in a circle will be to the circle as the side of the square to the greatest power of the diameter applied to that which is successively under the apotome of the sides of octagons, hexdecagons, polygons with thirty-two sides, sixty-four, one hundred and twenty eight, two hundred and fifty six, and so on, all in the ratio of halved angles and ]
