The definitions and theorems of the spherics of theodosios
pp. 1-21
Abstract
My journal article abbreviation of Euclid's Phenomena with Len Berggren shows what the book says to those that don't need or want the whole treatise. Its most important part is a list of the enunciations of the theorems as the obvious way to express the contents. This is a summary of the Spherics of Theodosios for "those that don't need or want the whole treatise". That summary is the second long section of this paper. The first section explains why, with examples, the summary cannot be just "a list of the enunciations of the theorems".
