的科学，要与自然做了明确的关注与机构和程度和他们的财产和大部分运动本身，也有这种物质的排序原则，多达它们可能。对于事物的本质构成的一些机构和程度，有一些机构和规模，有些事情是拥有这些原则。现在，一个连续的是，这几个部分都能够整除的细分，而死者是这是各种方式整除。如果整除氏方法之一，是一条线，如果两种方式表面，如果3个机构。除了这些还有没有其他的严重性，因为三个方面都是有，而且是在三个方向分割在所有整除。因为，正如毕达哥拉斯说，世界和所有在它是由3号和中以来开始和结束，给出了一个'所有'，和他们给的数字是黑社会的人数。因此，在采取这些来自大自然的（所谓三）它的法律，我们要进一步利用在神崇拜排名第三。此外，我们利用这种方式在实践中的条款。

    THE science which has to do with nature clearly concerns itself for the most part with bodies and magnitudes and their properties and movements, but also with the principles of this sort of substance, as many as they may be. For of things constituted by nature some are bodies and magnitudes, some possess body and magnitude, and some are principles of things which possess these. Now a continuum is that which is divisible into parts always capable of subdivision, and a body is that which is every way divisible. A magnitude if divisible one way is a line, if two ways a surface, and if three a body. Beyond these there is no other magnitude, because the three dimensions are all that there are, and that which is divisible in three directions is divisible in all. For, as the Pythagoreans say, the world and all that is in it is determined by the number three, since beginning and middle and end give the number of an 'all', and the number they give is the triad. And so, having taken these three from nature as (so to speak) laws of it, we make further use of the number three in the worship of the Gods. Further, we use the terms in practice in this way.
