On divisions (of figures)
From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki
On divisions (of figures) (περί διαιρέσεωυ βιβλίου) is a book by Euclid which has survived only in Arabic translation [1]. The book is about dividing figures into other figures. Only Proclus makes an explanatory reference to this work. However, an Arabian manuscript translated by Woepcke into French contains the statement of all of the propositions as well as proofs of four of them.
