Sursolids

At about ¼ from the beginning, there is the definition of “Surſolides”:

Farther to procede, if I multiplie thoſe ſquares of ſquares by their roote, thei will make Surſolide nombers.

This means that sursolids are not, as this article states, primes, but fifth powers. They also appear in his preceding table in the same function. That table, btw, also marks “Surſolides” and related terms as “The vulgare names” by contrast to “The authors names”, so it seems inappropriate to write “Recorde termed”, as does this article. ◄ Sebastian 15:52, 30 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]
