3rd circle
I'd keep 'circle' as it's a specificity of Switzerland. Or you could write "3rd circle (sub-district)".

: Or "Circle III". If you insist on keeping the cognate, keep the Roman numerals as well -- but not the mongrel Latin-French ordinal abbreviation. (Perhaps the Swiss, with no kings, never learnt the convention of cardinal Roman numerals.)
