Information about the "Treasury of Analysis" (ancient Greek geometry)?

I am currently reading a copy of Euclid's elements with commentary by Thomas L. Heath. In the first chapter, he writes alot about the other works of Euclid as well as some other Greek geometres of the time including Apollonius and Aristaeus as well as some others. It also lists some texts such as "The Data", "The Conics", "The Phaenomena, "The Optics", "The Porisms" and "The Book on Divisions". It also collectively refers to a group of books as "The Treasury of Analysis".

I have a very keen interest on important scientific and mathematical texts and have been unable to find much information on the internet regarding the 'Treasury of Analysis'. Can someone give me some information about it including what books and texts are included and by what authors as well as where I might find modern translations to purchase?

Thanks :)
