Sed magis diserte libri hujus argumentum eloquitur index ejus in vita Matritensi^, Kavovo^ KaraTofxri; superest enim praeclarus libellus Euclidi tributus, qui inscribitur Ka- TarofXYJ Kavovo^^y superest in Theonis Smyrnaei libro, quern de musica scripsit, caput ^"^ irepl t^9 tov /cai/oi/09 KaTaTo/mrj^ e Thrasyllo maxime petitum; unde constat canonis sectionem, canonices musicae opus, nihil esse aliud nisi musicorum certi alicujus systematis sonorum in monochordo designationem, quae secundum longitudinem chord arum instituatur. Jam vero qui harmoniam sphaerarum exponendam susceperit, ei canonis sectione opus est : sicut Thrasyllus et Theo Smyrnaeus canonis sectionem eo consilio proposuerunt, ut ex ea Platonis psychogoniam indeque aptum sphaerarum concentum expli- carent; et quem Achilles Tatius ut Aratum in Pythagorica ilia sphaerarum harmonia tractanda versatum esse dixit. ■' C. 15. 6 c. 16.
