西塞罗(Cicero106-43Bc:Tusculan Disputations "But from Dionysius's own city of Syracuse will summon up from the dust--where his measuring rod once traced its lines--an obscure little man who lived many years later,Archimedes.When I was questor in Sicily [in 75 BC,137 years after the death of Archimedes]I managed to track down his grave.The Syracusians knew nothing about it,and indeed denied that any such thing existed.But there it was,completely surrounded and hidden by bushes of brambles and thorns.I remembered having heard of some simple lines of verse which had been inscribed on his tomb,referring to a sphere and cylinder modeled in stone on top of the grave.And so I took a good look round all the numerous tombs that stand beside the Agrigentine Gate.Finally I noted a little column just visible above the scrub:it was surmounted by a sphere and a cylinder." 13
