Where to find ancient mathematics in Latin?

Question

I am a professional mathematician and an avid Latinist, and I would like to be able to read and write mathematics in Latin. I prefer classical style, so I would like to read some ancient mathematical texts in Latin. Writing modern mathematics does require some adjustments, of course, but I would like to have some classical style examples.

Can someone suggest some ancient mathematical texts? I was unsuccessful at finding any. If there are many options, I would prefer something that is considered good style (like Caesar or Cicero in prose). Ancient translations from Greek or any other language to Latin are fine. I assume at least some parts of Euclid's Elements were translated in antiquity, but I could not find Latin translations made before 16th century. The text need not be an entire book on mathematics, as long as there is a part dedicated to it.

The French national library has been scanning a lot of material throughout the years, available on their website Gallica. Using their advanced search tool we can narrow down to works in Latin about mathematics: here is a direct link to that query result.

Similarly on archive.org, by finding the collection on mathematics and narrowing down to those written in Latin one can find the following material.

In both cases however it should be noted that all material is from 1400 to 1900, I didn't see anything older than this unfortunately, so no ancient mathematicians there. Euler, Descartes, Huygens etc. however all wrote in Latin, so one can find their work at both those links. A couple of ancient Greek mathematicians are translated in Latin there, but the translations are all from the 18th/19th century.

Edit: I also found this website that contains a lot of ancient mathematicians' works, some of them translated in Latin, but, again, those translations (as far as I can see) are all post-15th century.

Boetius's Arithmetica is one example, from around 500 AD. See the manuscript, the text, or a summary. The book provided a Latin version of Nichomachus’s Arithmetica (which was in Greek from around 100 AD), which in turn covered some of the number-theoretic topics in Euclid’s Elements (from around 300 BC). All three books discussed the sieve of Eratosthenes, the Euclidean algorithm, and perfect numbers.
