Tybjerg, “Hero of Alexandria’s Mechanical Geometry,” Apeiron, 2004, 37:29–56, no. 11). Lewis notes a similar passage, crediting the Egyptians with the invention of measurement, that appears in various forms at Geometrica 2 and 23.1, as well as Geodesia 72.9–18, 107 (M.J.T. Lewis, Surveying Instruments of Greece and Rome [Cambridge; New York: Cambridge University Press, 2001], p. 14, n. 2). The likely influence of Egyptian and Near Eastern practices on Greek and Roman surveying is indeed one of the more prominent factors complicating this relationship. On this topic, see O.A.W. Dilke, The Roman Land Surveyors: An Introduction to the Agrimensores (Newton Abbot: David and Charles, 1971), pp. 19–30; Lewis, Surveying Instruments of Greece and Rome (cit. supra), pp. 13–18 expresses doubts about the contributions made to Greek and Roman surveying by Egyptian astronomy and mathematics, arguing for the stronger influence of Mesopotamian methodology.
