"The works on which the fame of Diophantus rests are: 1. the Arithmetica (originally in thirteen Books) 2. a tract On Polygonal Numbers. Six Books only of the former and a fragment of the latter survive. ...In 1585 Simon Stevin published a French version of the first four Books, based on Xylander."
