Thanks. Well, roughly this is equivalent to 92909**2 = 8632082281 which is correct arithmetically, yet still not a clear application of dec point. Assumin

Thanks. Well, roughly this is equivalent to 92909**2 = 8632082281 which is correct arithmetically, yet still not a clear application of dec point. Assuming 'pedes' is steps, 'untia', 'minuta', and 'secunda' are some dec divisions of a step, then the result notation has too many points to keep the meaning. Looks like more of a reading/spacing convenience for a whole number with many digits. Not much about decimal point.
