[10] Si fuerit sex angulorum, in quadratos pedes sic redigitur. Esto hexagonum quoquo versus lineis pedum XXX. Latus unum in se multiplico. Tricies triceni fiunt DCCCC. Huius summae tertiam partem statuo CCC, eiusdem partem decumam XC. Fiunt CCCXC. ¹²³⁴⁵⁶ Hoc sexies ducendum est, quoniam sex latera sunt, quae consummata efficiunt duo milia trecenteni et quadraginta. Tot igitur pedes quadratos esse dicemus. Itaque ⁷erit iugeri uncia dimidio scripulo et decima parte scripuli minus.
