However, just as Kirkman added stories typically found in the ''Historia'' tradition, the redactor of Conyer's text borrowed narratives from the ''[[Erasto (Es)\|Erasto]]'' - sticking to family ''Seven Sages'' tales, rather than inserting any moralising or antifeminist tales.

	\|Has Description=According to [[Bond (1937)]], this print, produced by George Conyers sometime between 1722 and 1739, shows the blending and combination of ''Seven Sages'' narratives in the 17th and 18th centuries.

However, in order to "render this Book more Entertaining" (Bond, p. 495), the narrator explains, the text also includes four addition tales, usually found in the ''Erasto'' narratives: [[Zelus]], [[Corpus Delicti]], [[Puer Adoptatus]], and [[Caepulla]].
