Note

Note: although this text closely follows the Version S pattern, it is not embedded within the Scala Coeli collection of exempla, and was instead transmitted independently. The Liber Septem Sapientibus is here embedded within a miscellany of writings attributed to Seneca (see Cañizares Ferriz, 2011).
