[94] καὶ ἀεὶ τὸν ἕβδομον ποιούμενός τις ἀντὶ μονάδος ἀρχὴν καὶ παραύξων κατὰ τὴν αὐτὴν ἀναλογίαν ἄχρις ἑβδομάδος εὑρήσει πάντως τὸν παραυξηθέντα κύβον τε καὶ τετράγωνον· ἀπὸ γοῦν τοῦ ἑξηκοντατέσσαρα ὁ συντεθεὶς ἐν διπλασίονι λόγῳ γεννήσει ἕβδομον τὸν τετρακισχίλια
καὶ ἐνενηκονταέξ, τετράγωνον ὁμοῦ καὶ κύβον, τετράγωνον μὲν αὐτὸν πλευρὰν ἔχοντα τὸν ἑξηκοντατέσσαρα, κύβον δὲ τὸν ἑκκαίδεκα.

[94] And in every case a man making his beginning from the unit, and proceeding on to the seventh number, and increasing in the same ratio till he comes to the number seven, will at all times find the number, when increased, both a cube and a square. At all events, he who begins with the number sixty-four, and combines them in a doubling ratio, will make the seventh number four thousand and ninety-six, which is both a square and a cube, having sixty-four as its square root, and sixteen as its cube root.
