Proposition: Prop. 10.110: Two Irrational Straight Lines arising from Medial Area from which Medial Area Subtracted
(Proposition 110 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)
A medial (area) , incommensurable with the whole, being subtracted from a medial (area) , the two remaining irrational (straight lines) arise (as) the (square root of the area) - either a second apotome of a medial (straight line), or that (straight line) which with a medial (area) makes a medial whole.
