Proposition: Prop. 10.067: Straight Line Commensurable with Bimedial Straight Line is Bimedial and of Same Order

(Proposition 67 from Book 10 of Euclid's “Elements”)

A (straight line) commensurable in length with a bimedial (straight line) is itself also bimedial, and the same in order. * Let $AB$ be a bimedial (straight line), and let $CD$ be commensurable in length with $AB$. * I say that $CD$ is bimedial, and the same in order1 as $AB$.

  1. Euclid's expression "(not) being the same in order" means that the resulting irrational number is "(not) of the same kind" as that irrational number, with which it is commensurable. ↩
