Excerpt from Philostrate: Traité sur la Gymnastique
Je me mis aussitôt àl''oeuvm; mais plus avançaia dans mon travail de révision et de traduction, plus je renmntrais de difficultés. (les difficultés (je suis loin de les avoir toutes levées) tenaient, soit à l''obscurité même du texte de Philostrate, soit aux imperfections, alors probables, aujourd''hui certai nes, de la copie de M. Mynas: soit aux nombreuses surcharges que présentait cette copie et qui tout naturellement me jetaient dans une geando per plexité.
