  • This is E. S. Forster's translation in the Loeb Classical Library edition (Cambridge, MA, 1986), p. 699; Fowler's translation (p. 17) is slightly different. Incidentally, Ch. Mugler, in his Dictionnaire Historique de la Terminologie Géométrique des Grecs (Paris, 1958), while pointing out that the term anthanairesis is a hapax legomenon, translates ten gar auten antanairesin echei ta choria kai hoi grammai as 'les segments de droite ont même rapport que les aires', and goes on to explain why: 'puisque la recherche de la plus grande commune mesure se fait d'une manière identique pour les aires et pour les segments' (p. 65). That is all. Mugler's Dictionary does not appear in Fowler's Bibliography.
