Is the Commentary on Book X really now attributed to Pappus? In his edition of Euclid (preface to Volume 3) T. Heath attributes it to Proclus.Rinpoche (talk) 15:45, 11 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Heath, EE, vol. 3, p. 3 quite correctly attributes it to Pappus. Writing, I believe, in 1908, he would not have had access to the 1930 edition of June and Thompson, although he cites the summary and description of the manuscript by Woepcke (1856), who attributes the work to Vettius Valens, and later work by Heiberg and Suter, which corrected him. 2607:F010:3FE:FFEC:0:0:0:C8 (talk) 06:23, 21 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
