Other Works
Pappus mentions other treatises of Apollonius:
- Λόγου ἀποτομή, De Rationis Sectione ("Cutting of a Ratio")
- Χωρίου ἀποτομή, De Spatii Sectione ("Cutting of an Area")
- Διωρισμένη τομή, De Sectione Determinata ("Determinate Section")
- Ἐπαφαί, De Tactionibus ("Tangencies")
- Νεύσεις, De Inclinationibus ("Inclinations")
- 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.

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“We ourselves are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners; yet we know that a person is justified not by the works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by doing the works of the law, because no one will be justified by the works of the law.”
—Bible: New Testament, Galatians 2:15-16.
“I meet him at every turn. He is more alive than ever he was. He has earned immortality. He is not confined to North Elba nor to Kansas. He is no longer working in secret. He works in public, and in the clearest light that shines on this land.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
