Book IV   Proposition 15
And, since
    the straight line CG standing on EB makes the adjacent angles EGC, CGB equal to two right angles,
therefore
    the remaining angle CGB is also one-third of two right angles.

Therefore
    the angles EGD, DGC, CGB are equal to one another;
so that
    the angles vertical to them, the angles BGA, AGF, FGE, are equal.
