Feb 2, 2017 at 2:20 comment added Todd Trimble Ah! I hadn't read carefully your recent addition right before the bold-faced edit, where you spoke of "porism" (I thought you were recommending "scholium" in some of the previous revisions). So now I agree with your answer; thanks for the work you put into this.
Feb 2, 2017 at 1:57 comment added Konstantinos Kanakoglou @Todd Trimble, i generally agree. My original intention was not to encourage OP to use the term "scholium" but rather to provide some indications for the boundaries. Maybe I was not clear enough, so i've edited, hoping to be more concrete.

Feb 2, 2017 at 1:10 comment added Todd Trimble Yes, this use of the word "scholium" from this edition of Euclid's Elements is, it seems to me, precisely what several commenters have tried to explain under the OP: a scholium is an explanatory note, a scholarly annotation, amplification, etc. It seems to me this is not precisely what the OP was asking about, which is about a further consequence of a line of argument used in a mathematical proof. (This is not to say your answer isn't useful for other reasons -- just that this additional piece of evidence does not support "scholium" as the sought-for word.)
