On the contrary, Ptolemy created no application or distribution of those Species of the Diapason to the Tones, if not to show the position of those. He spoke about those Species clearly at the end of the fifth Chapter of the second [first ante corr.] book. However, he did say at chapter 9 of the same book that it would be a beautiful thing if the number of those Tones was not greater than the number of the species of the Diapason, adducing the demonstration, or the reason. In the same Chapter 9 of the second book he places the Mixolydian in the highest register, and the Hypodorian in the lowest one, assigning to the other five Tones their place in relation to their distance, namely, so that there be a Tone between the Hypodorian and the Hypophrigian, another Tone between the Hypophrigian itself and the Hypolydian, and a limma between the Hypolydian and and the [[Missolid]] Dorian. He put a Tone between the Dorian and the Phrygian, another tone between the Phrygian and the Lydian, and, finally, a Limma between the Lydian and the Mixolydian, so that a Tone was lacking to complete, as he says, a Diapason. At the end of Chapter 5 of the second book he places the first species of the diapason between the Hypatehypaton and the paramese; the second species between the parhypate hypaton and trite diexeugmenon, and thus, consequently the fourth, the fifth and the sixth. Finally, he put the seventh between the proslambanomenos, and the Mese and the Nete hyperboleon. Infra line 62: [Bottrigari, Marginalia ad Galilei, Dialogo, 70; text: A. Hypodorio. B. Hypophrigio. C.

On the contrary, Ptolemy created no application or distribution of those Species of the Diapason to the Tones, if not to show the position of those.

However, he did say at chapter 9 of the same book that it would be a beautiful thing if the number of those Tones was not greater than the number of the species of the Diapason, adducing the demonstration, or the reason. In the same Chapter 9 of the second book he places the Mixolydian in the highest register, and the Hypodorian in the lowest one, assigning to the other five Tones their place in relation to their distance, namely, so that there be a Tone between the Hypodorian and the Hypophrigian, another Tone between the Hypophrigian itself and the Hypolydian, and a limma between the Hypolydian and and the [[Missolid]] Dorian. He put a Tone between the Dorian and the Phrygian, another tone between the Phrygian and the Lydian, and, finally, a Limma between the Lydian and the Mixolydian, so that a Tone was lacking to complete, as he says, a Diapason. At the end of Chapter 5 of the second book he places the first species of the diapason between the Hypatehypaton and the paramese; the second species between the parhypate hypaton and trite diexeugmenon, and thus, consequently the fourth, the fifth and the sixth. Finally, he put the seventh between the proslambanomenos, and the Mese and the Nete hyperboleon. Infra line 62: [Bottrigari, Marginalia ad Galilei, Dialogo, 70; text: A. Hypodorio. B. Hypophrigio. C.
