It was later translated back into Latin, but the Latin is terrible so the Greek version is usually considered authoritative as the Latin original is lost.

My high-school French teacher had an exercise whereby we would all write something in English, hand it off to a second student to translate to French, then to a third student for translation back to English. Then we'd all discuss what happened ... the results were often interesting.
