Reference for Eruvin 112:11
כמה מרובע יתר על העגול רביע דל רביע מינייהו פשו להו תשעה ותשעה מתלתין ושיתא ריבעא הוי
- Take the four [million square cubits] of the town area itself and add to them.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' To the 32,000,000. This brings the total up to 36,000,000.');"><sup>32</sup></span> Does not this, however, still amount to a third?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' 12,000,000/36,000,000 = 1/3. Why then was it described as 'a quarter'?');"><sup>33</sup></span> - Do you imagine that a quadrilateral town was spoken off? No, a circular town was meant.
