First conclusion on multiple proportions
Number tables for multiplex ratios, with the rule of part to whole
Under the heading 'first conclusion' and the word 'multiples', the leaf sets out columns of small numbers arranged as multiplex ratios (2, 3, 4 and their multiples 3, 6, 9). A closing maxim states the reciprocal relation of part and whole. Further mirror-script text appears at the foot of the leaf that is not included in the transcription.

Multiplex proportion and the rule of part to whole
Set as a 'first conclusion' on multiples, the figures pair numbers with their multiples so that a smaller term stands to a larger as a part to a whole. The concluding statement declares that as the part is to the whole, so the whole is to the part.
