...number of magnitudes are proportional, then one of the antecedents is to one of the consequents as the sum of the antecedents is to the sum of the consequents (see Euclid [E]). In modern symbols, if sn = X/«=i ai, then ai : o2 = (sn - an) . (sn - ai)Hence,...

...the terms D, E, F are proportional. Since A : B = B : C, by composition A + B:B = B + C:G; therefore the sum of the antecedents is to the sum of the consequents in the same ratio, that is, A + 2B + C:B + C = B + C:C. Now D = A + 2B + C, E = B + C, and F = C ;...
