The narrative known in scholarship as Syntipas, or, The Book of Syntipas the Philosopher (Βίβλος Συντίπα τοῦ φιλοσόφου, Vivlos Syntipa tou filosofou in Greek) was translated into learned Byzantine Greek in the late 11th century by Michael Andreopoulos in eastern Asia Minor. Andreopoulos states that he translated the text from the Syriac version, which he claims was a translation of the 9th-century Arabic translation of a Persian original. This original iteration of the Greek text, sometimes referred to in scholarship as Syntipas A, was the source for the later Reworking and Post-Byzantine Versions of the narrative.
