Greek Anthology Book XIV: Metrodorus: 128/Historical Note

Historical Note on Metrodorus' Arithmetical Epigram no. 128
The translator plaintively remarks on the solution:
 * The one offered is that the one brother had $4 \frac 4 {11}$ of a {{WP|Talent_(measurement}|talent}}, the other $\frac 7 {11}$, but I cannot work it out.

Doubtless, as is apparent in the calculation given here on.

This would have been correct had the question been worded:
 * ... I have this fifth part of the seven-elevenths of the total inheritance

but it isn't so it's not.
