	The ''Storia di Stefano'' is also unique in the stories it includes, and the order of those stories. The embedded tales in ''Stefano'' initially follow the expected Version I story order, as seen in the older 'rama antico' texts ~~(e.g., [[Il Libro dei Sette Savi de Roma (C)]], [[Storia d'una Crudele Matrigna (M)]], and [[Versio Italica historiae septem sapientum (L)]])~~: the narrative begins with the first sage's story [[Canis]] and continues as expected through the 13th story, the sage Charaus' rendition of [[Puteus]]. However, instead of then concluding with Prince Stefano's tale, all of the previous tale-tellers have a chance to speak once more, on the 8th day. The empress tells a three-part story (listed below as separate tales, though narrated jointly), then each of the seven sages tells another tale. Malchidas's tale is also a tripartite narrative, split into three separate tales below, but usually listed as one block of narration in criticism. Therefore, before the prince at last tells [[Vaticinium]] to bring about the narrative's conclusion, 22 (or, if we divide the narratives, as below, 26) stories have already been told, with more than half of them on the final day. [[Rajna (1878)]] wryly observes the excessive, imballanced nature of this, saying: "Rassomigliano a colpi di cannone, che un esercito vittorioso si divertisse per ore ed ore a tirar contro una fortezza ridotta con indicibili sforzi ad arrendersi, in cambio di entrare dalle porte, già belle e spalancate" [They resemble cannon shots, which a victorious army would amuse itself by firing for hours at a fortress forced to surrender with unspeakable efforts, in exchange for entering through the gates, already wide open] (p. 370).
