ὧν τεχνικὸν μέν ἐστιν ἐν ᾧ περὶ τῶν στοιχείων καὶ τῶν τοῦ λόγου μερῶν ὀρθογραφίας τε καὶ ἑλληνισμοῦ καὶ τῶν ἀκολούθων διατάττονται, ἱστορικὸν δέ ὅπου περὶ προσ- ώπων οἱονεὶ θείων τε καὶ ἀνθρωπίνων καὶ ἡρωικῶν διδά- σκουσιν, ἢ περὶ τόπων διηγοῦνται καθάπερ ὀρῶν ἢ πο- ταμῶν, περὶ πλασμάτων καὶ μύθων παραδιδόασιν ἢ εἴ τι τῆς αὐτῆς ἰδέας ἐστίν.

The technical part is that in which they set out matters concerning letters, parts of speech, orthography, correct Greek, and related topics. The historical part is that in which they teach about persons, as it were, divine, human, and heroic; narrate concerning places such as mountains or rivers; transmit fabrications and myths; or deal with anything else of the same kind.

La partie technique est celle dans laquelle ils exposent leurs doctrines sur les lettres, les parties du discours, l’orthographe, la correction du grec et les sujets connexes. La partie historique est celle dans laquelle ils enseignent ce qui concerne les personnages, pour ainsi dire divins, humains et héroïques, racontent ce qui concerne des lieux tels que les montagnes ou les fleuves, transmettent des fictions et des mythes, ou traitent de quelque autre matière du même genre.
