21. PROCL. in Eucl. p. 272, 3 Friedl. Νικομήδης μὲν γὰρ ἐκ τῶν κογχοειδῶν γραμμῶν, ὧν καὶ τὴν γένεσιν καὶ τὴν τάξιν καὶ τὰ συμπτώματα παραδέδωκεν, αὐτὸς εὑρετὴς ὢν τῆς ἰδιότητος αὐτῶν πᾶσαν εὐθύγραμμον γωνίαν ἐτριχοτόμησεν. ἕτεροι δὲ ἐκ τῶν Ἱππίου καὶ Νικομήδους τετραγωνιζουσῶν πεποιήκασι τὸ αὐτὸ μικταῖς καὶ οὗτοι χρησάμενοι γραμμαῖς ταῖς τετραγωνιζούσαις.
