Heath's 'The Works of Archimedes' (1897) is a famous English translation of Archimedes' works, it is a translation of the Greek originals, not a translation of the Latin text contained in the Heiberg edition. There is no English translation of the specific Latin text provided by Heiberg in his 1880 edition.
