Last sentence in the expansion would be better translated as "This he wrote by himself".  Saying 'he himself' is awfully awkward and stilted English.

The problem is the error doesn't lie in the Mandarin calligraphy or the written English translation. The error occurred in the spoken Mandarin

where the speaker for some reason omitted to say gēn. Perhaps it is more

difficult for Chinesepod to fix such an error.
