Sunt enim res quas et in pusillo et in magno theatro necesse est eadem magnitudine fieri propter usum, uti gradus, diazumata, pluteos, itinera, ascensus, pulpita, tribunalia et si qua alia intercurrunt, ex quibus necessitas cogit discedere ab symmetria, ne inpediatur usus.
For there are details which must be of the same dimensions both in a small, and in a large theatre, since their use is the same. Such are the steps, the semi-circular passages, the parapets, the ordinary passages, the steps up, the height of the stage, the boxes; and whatever else occurs to compel us to depart from proportion in the interest of convenience.
