Many versions of the Historia (in particular, the prose German versions of the text that Gerdes terms Prosafassung/Redaction B) are included within the text of the Gesta Romanorum. Gaston Paris suggested that this might account for the emperor's name in Version H: the emperor is called 'Poncianus' rather than 'Diocletianus', perhaps because the Gesta Romanorum already includes the story of an emperor Diocletian.
