Diatonos Chroma Harmonia
for we find
Harmonia is the mnemonic for 272
and
Chroma is the mnemonic for 1541
and
Diatonos is the mnemonic for 705
and
Harmonia = 272
is
The diameter of a circle
that when overlapped with
another circle of diameter 272
will form
a vesica / ιχθυσ
272 units wide
272 x 1.732 = 471 units long
and
471 is the diameter of a circle
the circle of ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ
having a circumference of
471 x 3.142 = 1480
and
1480 is the Mnemonic for ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ
and
a square whose sides are 471 has a diagonal of
471 x 1.4142 = 666
The Great Beast
ΤΟ ΜΕΓΑ ΘΕΡΙΟΝ
Now
212 is the diameter of a circle whose circumference is 666
and that number 666 being the diameter of another circle
whose circumference is 2092.3 represents
the diameter of the sphere of the Zodiac
containing the square 1480 ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ-Christos
and
and the sum of the numbers
from 1 to 36 equals 666
and
272 is the diameter of a circle having a circumference of 854
which is the width of a vesica 1480 long
It may be therefore supposed that the word harmonia implies the number 1480
Then Chroma = 1540
is the length of a vesica 888 long
so that the word chroma may be taken to indicate the number 888
Diatonos has the value of 705
which is in round numbers the side of a square whose diagonals are 999; and a vesica formed of two circles 999 in circumference has a perimeter of 666, which may be supposed to be the number intended to be expressed by this name. We therefore get from the names given to the three kinds of harmony the numbers 2,046, 1,480, and 2,093, as the supposed basis of the harmonic system, and they are, apparently, used here by Vitruvius, as the received canonical measures summarizing the principal dimensions of the universe.
