...But it has been shown that BC is equal to BG ; wherefore AL and BC are each of them equal to BG. And things which are equal to the same, are* equal to one another ; therefore AL is equal to BC. Wherefore from the point A a straight line AL has been drawn, equal... | |

...Proclus, had preceded him in this attempt : we give the demonstration by Apollonius of the axiom, that things which are equal to the same are equal to one another. He argues, that if A is equal to B, it occupies (may be made to occupy) the same place as B. And if... | |
