§12.prop.17#2καὶ ἐπεὶ ἑκατέρα τῶν ΟΦ, ΣΧ ὀρθή ἐστι πρὸς τὸ τοῦ ΒΓΔΕ κύκλου ἐπίπεδον, παράλληλος ἄρα ἐστὶν ἡ ΟΦ τῇ ΣΧ. ἐδείχθη δὲ αὐτῇ καὶ ἴση· καὶ αἱ ΧΦ, ΣΟ ἄρα ἴσαι εἰσὶ καὶ παράλληλοι.
And since each of OPh, SCh is perpendicular to the plane of the circle BGDE, therefore OPh is parallel to SCh. And it was also proved equal to it; therefore ChPh, SO are also equal and parallel.
καὶ ἐπεὶ παράλληλός ἐστιν ἡ ΧΦ τῇ ΣΟ, ἀλλὰ ἡ ΧΦ τῇ ΚΒ ἐστι παράλληλος, καὶ ἡ ΣΟ ἄρα τῇ ΚΒ ἐστι παράλληλος.
And since ChPh is parallel to SO, while ChPh is parallel to KB, therefore SO is also parallel to KB.
καὶ ἐπιζευγνύουσιν αὐτὰς αἱ ΒΟ, ΚΣ· τὸ ΚΒΟΣ ἄρα τετράπλευρον ἐν ἑνί ἐστιν ἐπιπέδῳ, ἐπειδήπερ, ἐὰν ὦσι δύο εὐθεῖαι παράλληλοι, καὶ ἐφʼ ἑκατέρας αὐτῶν ληφθῇ τυχόντα σημεῖα, ἡ ἐπὶ τὰ σημεῖα ἐπιζευγνυμένη εὐθεῖα ἐν τῷ αὐτῷ ἐπιπέδῳ ἐστὶ ταῖς παραλλήλοις.
And BO, KS join them; therefore the quadrilateral KBOS is in one plane, since, if two straight lines be parallel, and arbitrary points be taken on each of them, the straight line joining the points is in the same plane as the parallel straight lines.
διὰ τὰ αὐτὰ δὴ καὶ ἑκάτερον τῶν ΣΟΠΤ, ΤΠΡΥ τετραπλεύρων ἐν ἑνί ἐστιν ἐπιπέδῳ.
Therefore, for the same reasons, each of the quadrilaterals SOPT, TPRY is also in one plane.
ἔστι δὲ καὶ τὸ ΥΡΞ τρίγωνον ἐν ἑνὶ ἐπιπέδῳ.
And the triangle YRX is also in one plane.
ἐὰν δὴ νοήσωμεν ἀπὸ τῶν Ο, Σ, Π, Τ, Ρ, Υ σημείων ἐπὶ τὸ Α ἐπιζευγνυμένας εὐθείας, συσταθήσεταί τι σχῆμα στερεὸν πολύεδρον μεταξὺ τῶν ΒΞ, ΚΞ περιφερειῶν ἐκ πυραμίδων συγκείμενον, ὧν βάσεις μὲν τὰ ΚΒΟΣ, ΣΟΠΤ, ΤΠΡΥ τετράπλευρα καὶ τὸ ΥΡΞ τρίγωνον, κορυφὴ δὲ τὸ Α σημεῖον.
If then we conceive straight lines joined from the points O, S, P, T, R, Y to A, there will be constructed some solid polyhedron [part of a figure] between the circumferences BX, KX, consisting of pyramids, of which the bases are the quadrilaterals KBOS, SOPT, TPRY and the triangle YRX, and the vertex is the point A.
ἐὰν δὲ καὶ ἐπὶ ἑκάστης τῶν ΚΛ, ΛΜ, ΜΕ πλευρῶν καθάπερ ἐπὶ τῆς ΒΚ τὰ αὐτὰ κατασκευάσωμεν καὶ ἔτι ἐπὶ τῶν λοιπῶν τριῶν τεταρτημορίων, συσταθήσεταί τι σχῆμα πολύεδρον ἐγγεγραμμένον εἰς τὴν σφαῖραν πυραμίσι περιεχόμενον, ὧν βάσεις τὰ εἰρημένα τετράπλευρα καὶ τὸ ΥΡΞ τρίγωνον καὶ τὰ ὁμοταγῆ αὐτοῖς, κορυφὴ δὲ τὸ Α σημεῖον.
And if we also construct the same things on each of the sides KL, LM, ME as on BK, and further on the remaining three quadrants, there will be constructed some polyhedron inscribed in the sphere, contained by pyramids, of which the bases are the said quadrilaterals and the triangle YRX and those in the same order with them, and the vertex is the point A.
λέγω, ὅτι τὸ εἰρημένον πολύεδρον οὐκ ἐφάψεται τῆς ἐλάσσονος σφαίρας κατὰ τὴν ἐπιφάνειαν, ἐφʼ ἧς ἐστιν ὁ ΖΗΘ κύκλος.
I say that the said polyhedron will not touch the lesser sphere at its surface, on which is the circle ZHTh.
ἤχθω ἀπὸ τοῦ Α σημείου ἐπὶ τὸ τοῦ ΚΒΟΣ τετραπλεύρου ἐπίπεδον κάθετος ἡ ΑΨ καὶ συμβαλλέτω τῷ ἐπιπέδῳ κατὰ τὸ Ψ σημεῖον, καὶ ἐπεζεύχθωσαν αἱ ΨΒ, ΨΚ. καὶ ἐπεὶ ἡ ΑΨ ὀρθή ἐστι πρὸς τὸ τοῦ ΚΒΟΣ τετραπλεύρου ἐπίπεδον, καὶ πρὸς πάσας ἄρα τὰς ἁπτομένας αὐτῆς εὐθείας καὶ οὔσας ἐν τῷ τοῦ τετραπλεύρου ἐπιπέδῳ ὀρθή ἐστιν.
Let the perpendicular APs be drawn from the point A to the plane of the quadrilateral KBOS, and let it meet the plane at the point Ps, and let PsB, PsK be joined. And since APs is perpendicular to the plane of the quadrilateral KBOS, therefore it is also perpendicular to all the straight lines touching it and being in the plane of the quadrilateral.
ἡ ΑΨ ἄρα ὀρθή ἐστι πρὸς ἑκατέραν τῶν ΒΨ, ΨΚ. καὶ ἐπεὶ ἴση ἐστὶν ἡ ΑΒ τῇ ΑΚ, ἴσον ἐστὶ καὶ τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ΑΒ τῷ ἀπὸ τῆς ΑΚ. καί ἐστι τῷ μὲν ἀπὸ τῆς ΑΒ ἴσα τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν ΑΨ, ΨΒ·
Therefore APs is perpendicular to each of BPs, PsK. And since AB is equal to AK, the square on AB is also equal to the square on AK.
ὀρθὴ γὰρ ἡ πρὸς τῷ Ψ· τῷ δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς ΑΚ ἴσα τὰ ἀπὸ τῶν ΑΨ, ΨΚ. τὰ ἄρα ἀπὸ τῶν ΑΨ, ΨΒ ἴσα ἐστὶ τοῖς ἀπὸ τῶν ΑΨ, ΨΚ. κοινὸν ἀφῃρήσθω τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ΑΨ·
And the squares on APs, PsB are equal to the square on AB—for the angle at Ps is right—while the squares on APs, PsK are equal to the square on AK. Therefore the squares on APs, PsB are equal to the squares on APs, PsK.
λοιπὸν ἄρα τὸ ἀπὸ τῆς ΒΨ λοιπῷ τῷ ἀπὸ τῆς ΨΚ ἴσον ἐστίν· ἴση ἄρα ἡ ΒΨ τῇ ΨΚ. ὁμοίως δὴ δείξομεν, ὅτι καὶ αἱ ἀπὸ τοῦ Ψ ἐπὶ τὰ Ο, Σ ἐπιζευγνύμεναι εὐθεῖαι ἴσαι εἰσὶν ἑκατέρᾳ τῶν ΒΨ, ΨΚ. ὁ ἄρα κέντρῳ τῷ Ψ καὶ διαστήματι ἑνὶ τῶν ΨΒ, ΨΚ γραφόμενος κύκλος ἥξει καὶ διὰ τῶν Ο, Σ, καὶ ἔσται ἐν κύκλῳ τὸ ΚΒΟΣ τετράπλευρον.
Let the common square on APs be subtracted; therefore the remaining square on BPs is equal to the remaining square on PsK; therefore BPs is equal to PsK. Similarly indeed we shall prove that the straight lines joined from Ps to O, S are also equal to each of BPs, PsK. Therefore the circle described with center Ps and one of the distances PsB, PsK will also pass through O, S, and the quadrilateral KBOS will be in a circle.
