  1. For let each of the magnitudes A, B have the same ratio to C; I say that A is equal to B.

    设量A和B与同一量C有相同比。

  2. For, otherwise, each of the magnitudes A, B would not have had the same ratio to C; [V. 8] but it has; therefore A is equal to B.

    若A不等于B,则A和B与C的比将不同(据V.8),但已知相同,故A等于B。

  3. Again, let C have the same ratio to each of the magnitudes A, B; I say that A is equal to B.

    再设C与量A和B有相同比。

  4. For, otherwise, C would not have had the same ratio to each of the magnitudes A, B; [V. 8] but it has; therefore A is equal to B.

    若A不等于B,则C与A和B的比将不同(据V.8),但已知相同,故A等于B。
