[edit] Dicaearchus - constructions of hyperbola and parabola

I removed this line from the introduction to this article on Dicaearchus: "He made geometric constructions of a hyperbola and a parabola." It's been here since this article was a 3-line stub in 2002. I can't personally find any evidence that he did do this, but I'm hardly an expert on Dicaearchus. It seemed better to expunge the line rather than leave it on the page with "cite needed" tag for years to come. Singinglemon (talk) 00:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
