at centeni et octogeni in quamque partem
pedes idem spatium extremitatis sed multo amplius
clausae quattuor lineis areae faciunt. id si computare quem piget, brevioribus numeris idem discat.
nam deni in quadram pedes, quadraginta per oram,
intra centum erunt. at si quini deni per latera,
quini in fronte sint, ex illo, quod amplectuntur,
quartam deducent eodem circumductu.
