v2.c17.s8.108

"The quotient of its denominator divided by its numerator, less four times the remainder, is multiplied by that denominator (as divided by the numerator). The square-root of this should be *added to* and *subtracted from* that denominator (as divided by the numerator) ; half that is the total quantity."²
