Euclid's Elements, Book I, Definition 1

Unfortunately, its hard to determine which parts of the Elements may have been added between Euclid
and Theon.
This version of the Elements is based on Heibergs Greek edition which is based on pre-Theonic
editions, and is, therefore, relatively authentic. Even though parts of it may have been added in the first
650 years after Euclid, in these notes well treat Heibergs edition as authentic.
