A circle is a two dimensional object, not a three dimensional one, as one could see roughly equal distances into the horizon in all directions, anyone who conceived of a flat earth generally assumed that this flat earth was circular, and as such a "circle" does not imply that any text was correct in predicting a round earth.
(Of course the idea of a round earth itself outside of religion is much older than most believe, and the concept of a flat earth much less prevalent, but that's another issue entirely.)
