Excerpt from The Seven Sages, in English Verse: Edited From a Manuscript in the Public Library of the University of Cambridge
The date of the formation of these three ro manoes is unknown. The Hebrew version of the Parables of Sendabar (the last letter of which word has probably arisen from confounding the two Hebrew letters I and ¿) is, at least, as old as the end Of the twelfth century. The Greek ro mance of Syntipas is preceded by a metrical pro logue, which informs us that it was the work of a certain Andreopulus, Who avows himself a wor shipper of Christ, and declares that he translated it from the Syriac. It is here also stated, that apersian named Mousos was the first author of the work, from which Silvestre de Sacy conjectured that a person of the common Saracenic name of Mousa had translated Sendabad into Arabic or Persian.
