called parabola, whose diameter is the given straight line, and whose vertex is the end of the straight line,
and where whatever straight line is dropped from the section to the diameter at a given angle,
will equal in square the rectangle contained by the straight line cut off by it from the vertex of the section
and by some other given straight line.</s>
