λε΄. Τούτων ὄντων ἔστω κύκλος ὁ περὶ διάμετρον τὴν ΑΒ, καὶ ἐκβεβλήσθω ἡ ΑΒ, ἔστω δὲ ἐπὶ τυχοῦσαν τὴν ∠Ε κάθετος, καὶ πεποιήσθω, ὡς ἡ ΑΝ πρὸς τὴν ΖΒ, οὕτως ἡ ΑΗ πρὸς τὴν ΗΒ ὅτι πάλιν, οἷον ἐὰν ἐπὶ τῆς ΕΔ σημεῖον ληφθῇ ὡς τὸ Ε, καὶ ἐπιζευχθεῖσα ἡ ΕΗ ἐκβληθῇ ἐπὶ τὸ Θ, γίνεται, ὡς ἡ ΘΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΚ, οὕτως ἡ ΘΗ πρὸς τὴν ΗΚ.

εἰλήφθω τὸ κέντρον τοῦ κύκλου τὸ Λ, καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ Λ ἐπὶ τὴν ΕΘ κάθετος ἤχθω ἡ ΛΜ· ἴση ἄρα ἐστὶν ἡ ΚΜ τῇ ΜΘ. ἐπεὶ δὲ ὀρθή ἔστιν ἑκατέρα τῶν Μ, Ζ γωνιῶν, ἐν κύκλῳ ἐστὶν τὰ Ε, Ζ, Λ, Μ σημεῖα· τὸ ἄρα ὑπὸ ΖΗΛ ἴσον ἐστὶν τῷ ὑπὸ τῶν ΕΗΜ. ἀλλὰ τὸ ὑπὸ τῶν ΖΗΛ ἴσον ἐστὶν τῷ ὑπὸ τῶν ΑΗΒ διὰ τὸ εἶναι, [*](20. πάλιν] ut in lemmate XXXIII.)

ὡς τὴν ΑΖ πρὸς τὴν ΖΒ, οὕτως τὴν ΑΗ πρὸς τὴν ΗΒ, καὶ τετμῆσθαι τὴν ΑΒ δίχα κατὰ τὸ Λ· καὶ τὸ ὑπὸ τῶν ΕΗΜ ἄρα ἴσον ἐστὶν τῷ ὑπὸ τῶν ΑΗΒ, τουτέστιν· ἐν κύκλῳ γάρ· τῷ ὑπὸ τῶν ΘΗΚ. καὶ τέτμηται δίχα ἡ ΘΚ κατὰ τὸ Μ· διὰ δὴ τὸ προγεγραμμένον γίνεται, ὡς ἡ ΘΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΚ, οὕτως ἡ ΘΗ πρὸς τὴν ΗΚ.
