- αʹ Vitruvius, De Architectura 3.5:
| Quo altius enim scandit oculi species, non facile persecat aëris crebritatem, dilapsa itaque altitudinis spatio et viribus, exstructam* incertam modulorum renuntiat sensibus quantitatem. | For, given how high the eye's view is rising, it's not easy for it to cut through the density of the air, and so, having been dissipated by the height's strength and distance, it may return to the senses an unreliable estimate of the measurements it gathered. |
- βʹ Vitruvius, De Architectura 4.Praef.:
| quae subtilissimas haberent proportionibus modulorum quantitates | which [styles] have the greatest precision of quantity in their modules' proportions |
