- For the ratio of the excess of the apotome, above that which is truly a semitone, and which cannot be obtained in numbers, is thus called. This then is demonstrated. To what has been said however, it must be added, that we have called the ratio of d b a semitone, not that a sesquioctave is divided into two equal ratios; for no superparticular ratio is capable of being so divided; but because the followers of Aristoxenus assume a semitone after two sesquioctaves, the ratio of a semitone is assumed, as we have said, according to their position, in order to discover what the ratio is of the comma and apotome to the ratio of the leimma.
