Et primum in aedibus sacris aut e columnarum crassitudinibus aut triglypho aut etiam embatere, ballista e foramine, quod Graeci peritreton vocitant, navibus interscalmio, quae dipechyaia dicitur, item ceterorum operum e membris invenitur symmetriarum ratiocinatio.
First, in sacred buildings, either from the thickness of columns, or a triglyph, or the module; of a balista by the perforation which the Greeks call peritreton; by the space between the rowlocks in a ship which is called dipechyaia: so also the calculation of symmetries, in the case of other works, is found from the details.
