What CA is saying there is that because shit got wrote down, it must therefore be real (ignoring that said shit got wrote down long after it was asserted to have happened, and directly contradicted by other shit that also got wrote down or the lack of corroborating shit independent of the shit being also wrote down, if you follow me).
Therefore CA is essentially stating both that the Disc is an oblate spheroid with a diametre of 10,000 miles ca and that it is a relatively flat disc of circumference of 10,000 miles ca. carried on the backs of four elephants (there were five once, but one fell off) who themselves are carried on the backs of a giant space turle.
Now we, as daring chelonauts (morituri nolumus mori!), know that the Great A'tuin exists, we have gazed into it's eye as it gazed right back. Or as the saying goes, "my gods, it's full of elephant!".

"Small gods" is one of my favourite books.
Heres something to be exited about.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
