It is also the only source in the original Greek of Archimedes' theory of floatation of bodiesI'm glad Archimedes never met Michael Moore-he might have been too discouraged to write it down!

I was hoping this would go well. Time will tell, however, if we can make sense of what the scanning revealed.

I always wondered how the Greeks did mathematics, since Hindu-Arabic numerals weren't introduced to us in the west until the 12th century by Fibonacci.
I know that the Romans used Abacci (a digital counting mechanism, in fact) and transcribed everything using Roman Numerals.
What did the Greeks use?
