περατούμενόν ἐστι γραμμή, τὸ δ’ ἐπὶ δύο διαστατὸν ἐπιφάνεια, ῥυείσης ἐπὶ πλάτος γραμμῆς, τὸ δ’ ἐπὶ τρία στερεόν, μήκους καὶ πλάτους βάθος προσλαβόντων, ἐφ’ ὧν ἵσταται ἡ φύσις· πλείους γὰρ τριῶν διαστάσεις οὐκ ἐγέννησεν.

[25] For that which is bounded by two points is a line; and that which has two dimensions or intervals is a superficies, the line being extended by the addition of breadth; and that which has three intervals is a solid, length and breadth having taken to themselves the addition of depth. And with these three nature is content; for she has not engendered more intervals or dimensions than these three.
