are determined to be measured by lines at the same distance
from the angular point. this the ream of this
determination was that the operation should be the
simple tha [that there should be the host
number possible of influencing circumstance]
was not this distance always supposed to be the
same as the distance is an influencing circumstance
it must have been g in each and this
would have made a very compba operation.
Now Now the dust stands thus the distance
being the same from the angular point the
number of aliquots determines the proportion.
In Euclid's time we had not the assistance to discover
Coincidences to assist the senses of sight.
