Τόν τε κύλινδρόν φασι κατ᾿ εὐθεῖαν γραμμὴν ἅπτε- σθαι τῆς ἐπιπέδου καὶ ἐκκυλιόμενον τῇ ἀνὰ μέρος ἄλλων καὶ ἄλλων εὐθειῶν θέσει καταμετρεῖν τὴν ἐπίπεδον. ἀλλʼ εἰ καὶ κατ᾿ εὐθεῖαν ἅπτετοι τῆς ἐπιπέδου ὁ κύλινδρος καὶ κυλιόμενος τῇ ἀνὰ μέρος ἄλλων καὶ ἄλλων εὐθειῶν θέσει καταμετρεῖ τὴν ἐπίπεδον, πάντως καὶ ἡ ἐπίπεδος συνέστηκεν ἐξ εὐθειῶν καὶ ἡ ἐπιφάνεια τοῦ κυλίνδρου πά- λιν ἐξ εὐθειῶν πεπλήρωται.
