Intersectio, quae Graece metope dicitur, sic est dividenda, uti denticulus altitudinis suae dimidiam partem habeat in fronte, cavus autem intersectionis huius frontis e tribus duas partes; huius cymatium altitudinis eius sextam partem.
The interval, which in Greek is called metope, is to be arranged so that the dentil is half as wide as it is high; the hollow of the interval is two-thirds of the front of the dentil; the cymatium of this, one-sixth its height.
