DIAPASON-Diateffaron, in music, a compound concord founded on the proportion of 8 to 3. To this interval Martianus Capella allows 8 tones and a semitone; 17 semitones, and 34 dieses. This is when the voice proceeds from its first to its eleventh found. The moderns would rather call it the eleventh.
