Index.
According to "The Works of Archimedes" by T. L. Heath, Cambridge 1897, Archimedes' works included "On the Sphere and Cylinder", "On the Measurement of a Circle", "On Conoids and Spheroids", "On Spirals", "On the Equilibriums of Planes", "The Sand-reckoner", "Quadrature of the parabola", "On Floating Bodies", "Book of Lemmas" and "The Method".


Archimedes' Book of Lemmas.
In the book "Book of Lemmas", attributed by Thabit ibn-Qurra to Archimedes, there were 15 propositions on circles, with the first proposition referred in the subsequent fifth and sixth propositions. The statements in "Book of Lemmas" do not seem to concur to a central theme.

Monge & d'Alembert Three Circles Theorem II

Dynamic Geometry
Given three disjoint circles A, B and C of unequal radii situated entirely in each other's exterior, the common internal tangents of circles A and C meet in Y, the common internal tangents of circles A and B meet in Z and the common external tangents of circles B and C meet in X. Then the points X, Y and Z are collinear.
