Sida ku xusan xisaabta caanka ah ee uu Plutarch bixiyay, Archimedes wuxuu ka fekerayay jaantus xisaabeed markii magaalada la qabsaday. Askari Roman ah ayaa ku amray inuu yimaado oo la kulmo General Marcellus laakiin wuu diiday, isagoo leh waa inuu dhamaystiraa shaqada dhibaatada. Askariga ayaa ka cadhooday tan, wuxuuna ku dilay Archimedes seeftiisa. Plutarch sidoo kale wuxuu siinayaa xisaab yar oo caan ah oo ku saabsan dhimashada Archimedes taas oo soo jeedinaysa in laga yaabo in la dilay isagoo isku dayaya inuu is dhiibo askari.
