You can find the word "Eureka", if you look in the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (aka The Septuagint). The word "Eureka" is a transliteration of the Greek word "Εὕρηκα". It is the First Person, Singular, Perfect, Active, Indicative of εὑρίσκω and means "I have found".

In Daniel 2:25 of the Greek Septuagint you will find:

Εὕρηκα ἄνδρα ἐκ τῶν υἱῶν τῆς αἰχμαλωσίας τῆς Ιουδαίας, ὅστις τὸ σύγκριμα τῷ βασιλεῖ ἀναγγελεῖ.

Translated:

I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who will make known to the king the interpretation. (ESV)

The bolded word is Eureka.

The same Greek word appears in Hosea 12:8
