C. This "Papyrus Rhind'" was translated by Eisenlohr of Leipzig, and it was found to contain a rule for making a square equal in area to a given circle. It was not put forth as an original dis covery, but as the transcript of a treatise 500 years old; r still, which sends us back to approximately 2500 B.
