Walter Armstrong translation
Aurès, Sur le Système métrique assyrien, p. 16. A terra-cotta tablet, discovered in Lower Chaldæa among the ruins of Larsam, and believed with good reason to be very ancient, bears a list of the squares of the fractionary numbers between 160 2 and 6060 2, or 160, calculated with perfect accuracy (Lenormant, Manuel, &c. vol. ii. p. 37). See also Sayce, Babylonian Augury by means of Geometrical Figures, in the Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archæology, vol. iv. p. 302.
