Note
Text is incomplete; according to Epstein, the narrative breaks off in the middle of the story 'Catula'/Canicula. Additionally, the names of the Sages are unusual: they are given (transliterated) as Sndbar, Biars, Alpbin, Likman, Aristotlis, Bindi, and Amri, with 'Biars' in particular very unlike the corresponding sages names in the other Hebrew texts.
