Mr. Mugnier gives a test point in "Grids & Datums - Romania"
<http://www.asprs.org/resources/grids/05-2001-romania.pdf>
BTW, I believe the central latitude is at 46d, not 45d.
See also EPSG ProjCRS 31700.

With (my version of) sterea (double stereographic projection) and the
following parameters I got:

lat=44d 30m 30s; lon=26d 3m 3s;
lat0=46; lon0=25; x0=5e5; y0=5e5; m0=0.999750;
Krasowski ellipsoid;
-> easting = 583553.82638, northing = 334794.54321
(another instance of y=easting)
The article gives: northing x = 334794.541, easting y = 583553.824
So, less than 2.5 mm difference.

I am looking forward to the actual Hristow series, but in the mean time one
could use sterea.
