Version M is anomalous in a number of ways. The Prince is named Phiseus, and the stories titled Filius, Nutrix, Antenor, Spurius, Cardamum, and Assassinus are unique to Version M (replacing Puteus, Senescalcus, Tentatmina, Virgilius, Sapientes, and Rome in Version A). | |||
In his introduction to his 1974 edition of the ''Ystoire'', Runte also notes that although all seven sages are introduced by name, two of them - Malcuidanz and Martins - do not appear to tell their stories (1974, p. xxiii). Runte suggests that Lentulus appearing twice to tell both Vidua and Cardamum is simply due to scribal error. However, the fact that the final story is told by Markes (or Marcus), the son of the sage Cato/Chaton, is indicative of his unusual prominence in the narrative. This also serves as evidence of the links between Version M and the 'continuations' (or sequels) to the Seven Sages material, in particular ''Le Roman de Marques de Rome'', which continues the story of Markes. | |||
