The section reads:

When Paul wrote "of the circumcision," he wanted people to know that three of the men he wrote about were Jewish. Jewish people circumcised their boys when they were 8 days old. At this time, the Gentiles did not do this. Therefore, people knew a man was Jewish if he was circumcised.

A GL translator makes this observation:

supposing that paul wrote "of the cirrcumcision" for this reason. again supposition without proof.
