How to read this older notation

104 Views Asked by At

I'm translation a paper of Borsuk's from 1935, which is written in French. There is some strange notation. Based in context, I think this indicates the set of complex numbers with modulus between 1 and 11. Has anyone seen this before?

$$B = \underset{z}{E} [1\leq |z| \leq 11]$$enter image description here
