If it be nought, It is open that the nombre proposedewas a cubikenombre, And his rote a digit founde last withthe vnder-triples: If the rote therofwexbadein hym-selfe, and afterwardeproduct they shallemake the first figures. And yf ought be in residue, kepe that without in the table; and it is openethat the nombre was not a cubike. but a digit last founde withthe vndirtriplis is rote of the most cubikevndre the nombre proposedeconteynede, the whicherote yf it be hadein hym-selfe,Special cases.And afterwardein a product of that shallegrowe the most cubikevndre the nombre proposedeconteynede, And yf that be addedeto a cubikethe residue reseruedein the table, wollemake the same figures that ye hadefirst.Special case.Fol. 56.*Andyf no digit after the anterioracioun32may not be founde, than put therea cifre vndre a cifre vndir the thirdefigure, And put forwardeþe figures.
