    The author recalls Euler's proof on the form of even perfect numbers. He states that concerning this result Euler made no reference to Euclid's work, but to ``Plato's periodic perfect numbers''. This notion appears here without a definition or a clear bibliographical reference. The author then makes an unmotivated and inexact conjecture involving even perfect numbers of a special form.
