Ἐὰν διάστημα πολλαπλάσιον δὶς συντεθὲν ποιῇ τι διάστημα, καὶ αὐτὸ πολλαπλάσιον ἔσται. Ἔστω διάστημα τὸ βγ, καὶ ἔστω πολλαπλάσιος ὁ β τοῦ γ, καὶ γεγενήσθω ὡς ὁ γ πρὸς τὸν β ὁ β πρὸς τὸν δ. φημὶ δὴ τὸν δ τοῦ γ πολλαπλάσιον εἶναι. ἐπεὶ γὰρ ὁ β τοῦ πολλαπλάσιός ἐστι, μετρεῖ ἄρα ὁ τὸν β. ἦν δὲ καὶ ὡς ὁ (p. 25) πρὸς (η) (δ) (β) τὸν β ὁ β πρὸς τὸν δ, ὥστε μετρεῖ ὁ γ καὶ τὸν δ. πολλαπλάσιος ἄρα ἐστὶν ὁ δ τοῦ γ.
