Sumatur pro ratione radii ad peripheriem, I : πEnglish translation by Ian Bruce Archived 10 June 2016 at the Wayback Machine: "π is taken for the ratio of the radius to the periphery [note that in this work, Euler's π is double our π.]"
Denotet 1 : π rationem diametri ad peripheriamEnglish translation by Ian Bruce Archived 10 June 2016 at the Wayback Machine : "Let 1 : π denote the ratio of the diameter to the circumference"
See Barbier's theorem, Corollary 5.1.1, p. 98; Reuleaux triangles, pp. 3, 10; smooth curves such as an analytic curve due to Rabinowitz, § 5.3.3, pp. 111–112.
There are various other ways of finding the Lengths, or Areas of particular Curve Lines or Planes, which may very much facilitate the Practice; as for instance, in the Circle, the Diameter is to Circumference as 1 to
3.14159, &c. = π. This Series (among others for the same purpose, and drawn from the same Principle) I receiv'd from the Excellent Analyst, and my much Esteem'd Friend Mr. John Machin; and by means thereof, Van Ceulen's Number, or that in Art. 64.38. may be Examin'd with all desireable Ease and Dispatch.

δ.π :: semidiameter. semiperipheria
the ratio of the length of a circle to its diameter was represented in the fractional form by the use of two letters ... J.A. Segner ... in 1767, he represented 3.14159... by δ:π, as did Oughtred more than a century earlier

It is noticeable that these letters are never used separately, that is, π is not used for 'Semiperipheria'
