Discussion of error/mistake in Greek texts

Does anyone know of some relatively early Greek text(s) which has a
mention of mathematical error/mistake? Aristotle tends to use the
word amarti (which appears to now mainly mean sin and is not tied
closely to mathematics). It also appears the words lathos and sfalma
were used (and presently are), but I don't know of any texts.
