Hello all,
I'm looking for some help to find an acceptable style figure to translate the following phrase "surrounding the". And I don't know why, I'm not much inspired by this sentence. I have it on the tip of the tongue, but it doesn't work well.
Any suggestion is welcomed!
"Surrounding the FACOM100 are Toshio Ikeda, the Fujitsu engineer known as"Mr. Computer" in Japanese computer history, and Dr. Hideki Yukawa, winner of the Nobel Prize in physics."
Many thanks in advance for your help.

S'il s'agit en effet d'une photo, on pourrait dire ça:
Aux côtés du FACOM100 se trouvent Toshio Ikeda (...) et le Dr. Hideki Yukawa (...).
Larousse: Au(x) côté(s) de quelqu'un, auprès de lui.
Salutations.

Merci, Gilou (et cependant Larousse dit "près de quelqu'un", pas "près de quelque chose", voilà mon doute à ce sujet...)
