How the English word “perimeter” was understood when the King James Version was still the common Bible of English readers.
PERIM'ETER, noun
[Gr. about, and measure.]
In geometry, the bounds and limits of a body or figure. The perimeters of surfaces or figures are lines; those of bodies are surfaces. In circular figures, instead of perimeter we use circumference or periphery.
