Exegesis
A second coordination, kai to mekos autēs hoson to platos {καὶ τὸ μῆκος αὐτῆς ὅσον τὸ πλάτος | kaì tò mḗkos autês hóson tò plátos}, uses the correlative pronoun hoson with neuter nouns to assert exact equality of length and width.
In context — Revelation 21:16
And the city lies four-square, and its length is the same as its width; and he measured the city with the reed —twelve thousand stadia . Its length and width and height are equal.
