λϚ΄. Ἡμικύκλιον τὸ ἐπὶ τῆς ΑΒ, καὶ παράλληλος τῇ ΑΒ ἡ Γ∠, καὶ κάθετοι ἤχθωσαν αἱ ΓΕ, ∠Η ὅτι ἴση ἐστὶν ἡ ΑΕ τῇ ΗΒ. εἰλήφοθω τὸ κέντρον τοῦ κύκλου τὸ Ζ, καὶ ἐπεζεύχθωσαν αἱ ΓΖ, Ζθωσαν ἴση ἄρα ἐστὶν ἡ ΓΖ τῇ Ζ∠· ὥστε καὶ τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ΓΖ ἴσον τῷ ἀπὸ τῆς Ζ∠ τετραγώνῳ. ἀλλὰ τῷ μὲν ἀπὸ ΓΖ τετραγώνῳ ἴσα ἐστὶν τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν ΓΕ, ΕΖ τετράγωνα, τῷ δὲ ἀπὸ ∠Ζ τετραγώνῳ ἴσα ἐστὶν τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν ∠Η, ΗΖ τετράγωνα· καὶ τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν ΓΕ, ΕΖ ἄρα τετράγωνα ἴσα ἐστὶν τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ΖΗ, Η∠ τετραγώνοις. ὧν τὸ ἀπὸ ΓΕ τετράγωνον ἴσον ἐστὶν τῷ ἀπὸ τῆς ∠Η τετραγώνῳ· λοιπὸν ἄρα τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ΕΖ τετράγωνον λοιπῷ τῷ ἀπὸ ΖΗ τετραγώνῳ ἐστὶν ἴσον· ἴση ἄρα ἐστὶν ἡ ΕΖ τῇ ΖΗ. ἔστιν δὲ καὶ ὅλη ἡ ΑΖ ὅλῃ τῇ ΖΒ ἴση· λοιπὴ ἄρα ἡ ΑΕ λοιπῇ τῇ ΗΒ ἐστιν ἴση· ὅπερ ἔδει δεῖξαι.
