"O thou of fine intelligence, state a pair of numbers, other than 7 and 6, whose sum and difference (severally) added with 3 are squares; the sum of their squares decreased by 4 and the difference of the squares increased by 12 are also squares; half their product together with the smaller one is a cube; again the sum of all the roots plus 2 is a square."¹
