Align two equations, second split over two lines. Enclosed by leading left brace

TeX - LaTeX Asked by Jeff Higgins on August 16, 2021

I am attempting to reproduce an existing typeset equation.
Several hours into this. I have tried every combination of
align, aligned, cases, split, empheq, multline, eqnarray, that I can think of.

The equation that I am attempting to reproduce is illustrated here:
existing typeset equation

Edit: removed original code.

2nd Edit: Satisfied with result – change code and result image.

3rd Edit: Slight adjustment to adjustwidth – equation now well positioned horizontally, line breaks and page breaks back to where I would like. Incorporate suggestion @egreg.

The reason for the usepackage[textwidth=10cm, textheight=20cm]{geometry}
is that gives me line and page breaks very close to the format of the original facsimile, hence makes transcription easier.

The original article(fourth in a series of five):
Nouvelles annales de mathématiques 3e série, tome 3(1884), p. 545-561

Here is a possibility, with empheq and alignedat:

documentclass[11pt, leqno]{article}
usepackage{empheq}
usepackage[textwidth=10cm, textheight=20cm]{geometry}
usepackage[french]{babel}
usepackage[math-style=french]{unicode-math}
setmathfont{Latin Modern Math}
pagenumbering{gobble}

begin{document}

begin{empheq}[left=empheqlbrace]{equation}tag{9}
begin{alignedat}{2}
Σ&=σ+mathrlap{tr.MTP-tr.M_0T_0P_0} 
 & =frac{;text{textsc{i}}}{2}
bigl[int_{θ_0}^θbiggl(frac{dλ}{dθ}sin θbiggr)^{mkern-5mu 2}dθ
 & & +biggl(frac{dλ}{dθ}sin θbiggr)^{mkern-5mu 2}sin θcos θ 
 & & & -biggl(frac{dλ_0}{dθ_0}sin θbiggr)^{mkern-5mu 2}sin θcos θ biggr]
end{alignedat}
end{empheq}

end{document}

enter image description here

Edit: For a layout closer to the original, one can use a smaller font (for the equation) and nest the equation in an adjustwidth environment, from changepage:

documentclass[11pt, leqno]{article}
usepackage{empheq}
usepackage{changepage} 
usepackage[textwidth=10cm, textheight=20cm]{geometry}
usepackage[french]{babel}
usepackage[math-style=french]{unicode-math}
setmathfont{Latin Modern Math}
pagenumbering{gobble}

begin{document}

 begin{empheq}[left=mkern-15muempheqlbrace]{align}tag{9}
    begin{alignedat}{2}
    Σ&=σ+mathrlap{mathrm{tr}.MTP-mathrm{tr}.M₀T₀P₀} 
      & =frac{;text{textsc{i}}}{2}biggl[
    & ∫_{θ₀}^θ&biggl(frac{dλ}{dθ}sin θbiggr)^{mkern-5mu 2}dθ 
     & & {}+{}&biggl(frac{dλ}{dθ}sin θbiggr)^{mkern-5mu 2}sin θcos θ
     -biggl(frac{dλ₀}{dθ₀}sin θbiggr)^{mkern-5mu 2}sin θcos θ biggr].
    end{alignedat}
    end{empheq}
end{adjustwidth}

Correct answer by Bernard on August 16, 2021

Something like this?

enter image description here

Note the use of oldstyle numerals in the equation number, the frac{1}{2} term and 0-subscripts in row 1, as well as the extra kerning in the exponents associated with the instances of Bigl(...Bigr)^{2}.

documentclass[11pt,leqno]{article}
usepackage{mathtools} % for 'dcases' env.
DeclareMathOperator{tr}{tr.} % trace operator, right?
usepackage[a4paper,textwidth=11cm, textheight=20cm]{geometry}
usepackage[french]{babel}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Latin Modern Roman}[Numbers=OldStyle]
usepackage[math-style=french,]{unicode-math}
setmathfont{Latin Modern Math}
pagenumbering{gobble}

begin{document}

begin{align*}
