Plato’s Fourth Dimension:
We have to divide the art of measurement into two parts just
as we said. On the one hand we put all the arts which measure number
(arithmon), lengths (mêkê), depths (bathê), breadths (platê), and speeds

and all together that is settled as mean value of the extremes. (Statesman 284e)
