Apollonius of Perga - Other Works

Other Works

Pappus mentions other treatises of Apollonius:

1. Λόγου ἀποτομή, De Rationis Sectione ("Cutting of a Ratio")
2. Χωρίου ἀποτομή, De Spatii Sectione ("Cutting of an Area")
3. Διωρισμένη τομή, De Sectione Determinata ("Determinate Section")
4. Ἐπαφαί, De Tactionibus ("Tangencies")
5. Νεύσεις, De Inclinationibus ("Inclinations")
6. Τόποι ἐπίπεδοι, De Locis Planis ("Plane Loci").

Each of these was divided into two books, and—with the Data, the Porisms, and Surface-Loci of Euclid and the Conics of Apollonius—were, according to Pappus, included in the body of the ancient analysis.
