He eagerly founded a gymnasium right below the elevated fortress and induced the most honorable of the trainees to wear the traditional Greek hat.
For he had the boldness to set up, under the very castle, a place of exercise, and to put all the choicest youths in brothel houses.
With great enthusiasm he built a stadium near the Temple hill and led our finest young men to adopt the Greek custom of participating in athletic events.
With perverse delight he established a gymnasium at the very foot of the citadel, where he induced the noblest young men to wear the Greek hat.
He quickly established a gymnasium at the very foot of the citadel itself, and he convinced the most noble of the young men to wear the Greek hat.
He took delight in establishing a gymnasium right under the citadel, and he induced the noblest of the young men to wear the Greek hat.
