sit

O H M

, angulus rectus
Maior est ratio

H α

vel

H O

T V

. nam

α β

T V

est in eadem ratione
et

α H

maior est quam

α β

.
Maior est etiam ratio

H δ

X Y

. nam

δ ɛ

X Y

est eadem, et

H δ

est maior quam

δ \ v a r e s p s i l o n

.
Hæc ita se habent, quia angulus

α H V

est obtusus maior scilicet recto

O H M

. et alter

δ H X

est
minor eadem ratio.
Ergo

T V

est minor quam

D P

.
Ac etiam

Y X

est minor quam

D P

[Translation: Let

O H M

be a right angle
The ratio

H α

H O

T V

is greater, for

α β

T V

is in the same ratio and

α H

is greater than

α β

.
The ratio

H δ

X Y

is greater, for

δ ɛ

X Y

is the same, and

H δ

is greater than

δ ɛ

.
These are had thus, because angle

α H V

is obtuse, clearly greater than the right angle

O H M

, and the other,

δ H X

, is less than the same ratio.
Therefore

T V

is less than

D P

.
And also

Y X

is less than

D P
