[Commentary:
On this folio Harriot gives rules for finding all the parameters of an arithmetic progression given any three of them.
The three parameters supposed given are listed in the second column, headed 'data', where Harriot runs systematically through all the combinations pun, pud, pus, and so on.
Rules for finding the two remaining quantities in each case are given in the third column, headed 'quaesita'.
For further details Stedall .
