Book VI of the Konika is essentially devoted to the question of the
identity and similarity of two conic sections, or two parts of
conic sections. In Book VII Apollonius deals with the various
relationships between the lengths of diameters and conjugate
diameters. The results are applied to the exposition of a number of
problems, as well as to some problems which Apollonius indicates
will be demonstrated and solved in Book VIII, which was lost in
Antiquity. Books VI and VII have only survived in an Arabic
translation, and are presented here in a critical edition, together
with a faithful translation and a historical-mathematical
commentary.
