I don't see where it has to be an integer number of such magnitudes. Pic related, do you see how this is true for integer and non-integer "m?" However, aside from Fitzpatrick's helpful footnote, I grant that the language is archaic and I might not have fully comprehended Euclid's point. If you see something that suggests the number has to be an integer, please cite those words and tell me what you think they mean.
