It is often asserted that Euclid had no single word for "radius," but rather used the description "the line drawn from the center." We examine the linguistic practice of Euclid, Archimedes, and Apollonius and find that it is more subtle than that. (C) 1999 Academic Press MSC 1991 subject classification: 01A20.
