τὴν δοθεῖσαν εὐθεῖαν πεπερασμένην ἄκρον καὶ μέσον λόγον τεμεῖν.
ἔστω ἡ δοθεῖσα εὐθεῖα πεπερασμένη ἡ
ΑΒ· δεῖ δὴ τὴν
ΑΒ εὐθεῖαν ἄκρον καὶ μέσον λόγον τεμεῖν.
Ἀναγεγράφθω ἀπὸ τῆς
ΑΒ τετράγωνον τὸ
ΒΓ, καὶ παραβεβλήσθω παρὰ τὴν
ΑΓ τῇ
ΒΓ ἴσον παραλληλόγραμμον τὸ
ΓΔ ὑπερβάλλον εἴδει τῷ
ΑΔ ὁμοίῳ τῷ
ΒΓ.
τετράγωνον δέ ἐστι τὸ
ΒΓ· τετράγωνον ἄρα ἐστὶ καὶ
τὸ ΑΔ. καὶ ἐπεὶ ἴσον ἐστὶ τὸ ΒΓ τῷ ΓΔ, κοινὸν ἀφῃρήσθω τὸ ΓΕ· λοιπὸν ἄρα τὸ ΒΖ λοιπῷ τῷ ΑΔ ἐστιν ἴσον. ἔστι δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ ἰσογώνιον· τῶν ΒΖ, ΑΔ ἄρα ἀντιπεπόνθασιν αἱ πλευραὶ αἱ περὶ τὰς ἴσας γωνίας· ἔστιν ἄρα ὡς ἡ ΖΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΔ, οὕτως ἡ ΑΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΒ.
ἴση δὲ ἡ μὲν ΖΕ τῇ ΑΒ, ἡ δὲ ΕΔ τῇ ΑΕ. ἔστιν ἄρα ὡς ἡ ΒΑ πρὸς τὴν ΑΕ, οὕτως ἡ ΑΕ πρὸς τὴν ΕΒ. μείζων δὲ ἡ ΑΒ τῆς ΑΕ· μείζων ἄρα καὶ ἡ ΑΕ τῆς ΕΒ.
