Robert,
I've bothered to type the first paragraph because the author distinctly describes the toracomachus as 'invention of the ancients'. I don't know whether his innovation is just the leather cover or if it was just that the garment had fallen into disuse and the anonymous was advising its use again but on this subject, I agree with Dan.
Graham,
Better if you forget all of us or if you just scan the paper, transform it into a .pdf file and then e-mail it to us. Otherwise, the British Postal Service will dedicate you a statue! :wink:
