To the person who created this image:

There is a numerical error in the image in need of correction.

250,000 stadia is approximately equal to 25,000 miles, not 35,000. If you check your source for the image, you will see that it shows 25,000 miles as a rough estimate for the circumference of the earth.

                               Regards,
                                 SG
