With respect to the properties of the ennead, in the first<br />

place it consists of the three numbers 2, 3, and 4, which are in<br />

a natural order, and in which the ratio of symphonies are contained.<br />

For the ratio of 4 to 3 is sesquitertian, and forms the<br />

symphony diatessaron. The ratio of 3 to 2 is sesquialter, and<br />

forms the symphony diapente. And the ratio of 4 to 2 is duple,<br />

in which the diapason consists.<br />

Again, if 9 multiplies any triangular, square, or decagonal<br />

gnomon, or any square or decagon, and unity is added to the<br />

product, the sum will be an endecagonal gnomon. For,<br />
