THerefore the □ of the whole AB will be = oocd=□ of the Latus Rectum into the Lat. Transv. (which Apllo∣nius calls the Figure) so that the second Ax (and any second Diameter) will be a mean proportional between the Latus Re∣ctum and the Latus Transversum. Hence in the hyperbola also the second or conjugate diameter may be called a mean proportional between the Latus Rectum and Transversum, i. e. √oocd or a line which is equal in power to the Figure, as A∣pollonius speaks.
