Dempta plintho reliquum dividatur in partes quattuor, fiatque superior torus [quartae; reliquae tres aequaliter dividantur, et una sit inferior torus,] altera pars cum suis quadris scotia, quam Graeci trochilon dicunt.
Taking the plinth away, the remainder is to be divided into four parts, and the upper torus is to be one-fourth: the remaining three-fourths are to be equally divided so that one is the lower torus and the other the scotia (which the Greeks call trochilus) with its fillets.
