Geometry: lettered figure with proportional ratios
Faint pen-and-pencil study of curved-sided figures and inscribed triangles
The sheet is covered with faint geometric sketches — curved-sided lune shapes, triangles inscribed in squares, and hatched panels — drawn in both pencil and pen. The only transcribed text is a set of point-labels and fractional ratios (letters d, e, k, g, h with fractions such as f/3 and c/2) that annotate one of these figures. The page belongs with the squaring studies continued on the verso. Further faded writing and figures are present beyond what the transcription records.

Point-labels and proportional ratios on a figure
A cluster of letters — d, e, k, g and [h] — is set over a small figure, with fractional ratios f/3, c/2, c/3 and f/4 attached to further points a, g, b, d, h and e. They annotate lengths or areas divided in the given proportions.
Curved-sided figures and inscribed triangles
Across the sheet are many small pen figures of lune-like curved shapes together with triangles set inside squares and hatched areas. They read as trials in equating or squaring curvilinear figures.
