" Twice the measure (of a side of a given square) is (its) fourfold-producer; thrice the measure is the ninefold-producer; four times the measure is the sixteenfold-producer. As many units of a measure as are in a cord, so many rows (or series) of squares (of that measure) there will be in a square on that cord as a side. Combine them."¹
