Virgil's biographical tradition is thought to depend on a lost biography by Varius, Virgil's editor, which was incorporated into the biography by Suetonius and the commentaries of Servius and Donatus, the two great commentators on Virgil's poetry. Although the commentaries no doubt record much factual information about Virgil, some of their evidence can be shown to rely on inferences made from his poetry and allegorizing; thus, Virgil's biographical tradition remains problematic.
Is Virgil's biographical tradition easily researched or is it problematic?

The answer: problematic

Muawiyah also encouraged peaceful coexistence with the Christian communities of Syria, granting his reign with "peace and prosperity for Christians and Arabs alike", and one of his closest advisers was Sarjun, the father of John of Damascus. At the same time, he waged unceasing war against the Byzantine Roman Empire. During his reign, Rhodes and Crete were occupied, and several assaults were launched against Constantinople. After their failure, and faced with a large-scale Christian uprising in the form of the Mardaites, Muawiyah concluded a peace with Byzantium. Muawiyah also oversaw military expansion in North Africa (the foundation of Kairouan) and in Central Asia (the conquest of Kabul, Bukhara, and Samarkand).
Along with Rhodes, what Byzantine possession did Muawiyah occupy?

While most Hokkien morphemes have standard designated characters, they are not always etymological or phono-semantic. Similar-sounding, similar-meaning or rare characters are commonly borrowed or substituted to represent a particular morpheme. Examples include "beautiful" ( bi is the literary form), whose vernacular morpheme sui is represented by characters like (an obsolete character), (a vernacular reading of this character) and even (transliteration of the sound sui), or "tall" ( ko is the literary form), whose morpheme koan is . Common grammatical particles are not exempt; the negation particle m (not) is variously represented by , or , among others. In other cases, characters are invented to represent a particular morpheme (a common example is the character in, which represents the personal pronoun "they"). In addition, some characters have multiple and unrelated pronunciations, adapted to represent Hokkien words. For example, the Hokkien word bah ("meat") has been reduced to the character , which has etymologically unrelated colloquial and literary readings (hek and jiok, respectively). Another case is the word 'to eat,' chiah, which is often transcribed in Taiwanese newspapers and media as (a Mandarin transliteration, xia, to approximate the Hokkien term), even though its recommended character in dictionaries is .
Most Hokkein morphemes have what type of characters?

The answer: standard designated

Throughout the 18th century, the watchword of translators was ease of reading. Whatever they did not understand in a text, or thought might bore readers, they omitted. They cheerfully assumed that their own style of expression was the best, and that texts should be made to conform to it in translation. For scholarship they cared no more than had their predecessors, and they did not shrink from making translations from translations in third languages, or from languages that they hardly knew, oras in the case of James Macpherson's "translations" of Ossianfrom texts that were actually of the "translator's" own composition.
How much did the translators care about scholarship?

The answer:
no more than had their predecessors
