[Commentary:
The first reference on this page is to a lemma proved by Commandino on page 198v of his edition of Mathematicae collectiones (Pappus . Harriot's diagram imitates Commandino's except that he has changed some of the lettering.
Towards the end there are references to Euclid's .

In a given triangle to inscribe a circle.
About a given triangle to circumscribe a circle.
There is also a reference to In duos Archimedis aequiponderantium libros (Guidobaldi . ]

Quod hic construitur est in altera
[Translation: What is here constructed is in another ]
Sit triangulum ABC. Ducantur
perpendicularis BD, CE, quæ sese
intersecant in puncto F. et ab
A ad F agatur recta usque ad G.
Dico quod AG est linea perpendicu-
laris lineæ CB.
[Translation: Let there be a triangle ABC. Draw the perpendiculars BD, CE, which intersect each other at the point F. And from A ad F construct a line as far as G.
I say that AG is a line perpendicular to the line CB. *

Demonstratio
* puncta D, F, E, A, sunt in
peripheria quoniam anguli ad D et E
sunt recti. agatur igitur circulus, ADFE.
D et E puncta sunt etiam in perpheria
semicirculi CDEB, [???] causa [???]
[Translation: Demonstration
* The points D, F, E, A are on a circumference because the angles at D et E are right angles. Therefore construct the circle ADFE. The points D et E are also on the circumference of the semicircle CDEB, [???] because [???].
Anguli DEF et FBG sunt æqualis quia
sunt in peripheria [???] super eandem
basis CD. Tum DEF et DAF æqualis
quia insistunt super DF. æqualis igitur
anguli DAF et FBG. DFA et GFB
sunt æqualis quia [???] ad verticem.
Ergo, tertius angulus FGB æquatur
tertio FDA recto. quod demonstrantur

[Translation: The agnles DEF et FBG are equal because the are on a circumference [???] on the same base CD. Then DEF and DAF are equal because they stand on DF. Therefore angles DAF and FBG are equal. DFA et GFB are euqal because [???] to the vertex.
Therefore, the third angle FGB is equal to the third FDA, a right angle. Which was to be proved.

Alia propositio: seu conclusio
Superioribus constructis et demonstratis; fiat præterea triangulum DEG. Dico quod
eius anguli bisecantur per lineas AG, BD, et CE
[Translation: Another proposition: or conclusion
By the above construction and demonstration; make also the triangle DEG. I say that its angles are bisected by the lines AG, BD, and CE.
Nam: Anguli FGE et FBE æquantur, quia in perpheria et insistunt super FE.
Angulus etiam FCD, æqualis FBE quia trainguli æquianguli;
duo enim recti et duo ad verticem; ergo tertius tertio æqualis.
Sed angulus FCD æqualis FGD quia in peripheria super DF. Ergo
anguli FGD et FGE sunt æqualis. Simili modo probatur bisectio
duorum
[Translation: For the angles FGE and FBE are equal because they are on a circumference and stand on FE.
Also the angle FCD is equal to FBE because in an equiangular triangle, for two are right angles and two are at the vertex. Therefore the third is equal to the third.
But the angle FCD is equal FGD because on the circumference standing on DF. Therefore the angles FGD and FGE are equal. In a similar way there can be proved the bisection of the others.
Etiam triangula: ADE GDC GBE ABC sunt similia.
Tertio DEG est una linea reflexa ad
angulis æqualis intra triangluum ABC
[Translation: Also the triangles ADE, GDC, GBE, ABC are similar.
Third, DEG is a line of reflection at equal angles inside triangle ABC.
