S is noteworthy because of its brevity; Campbell (1904) observes that it is 'much compressed', though 'not substantially altered'. No names given for the sages or the prince; the Emperor is named Diocletian.

In this version, as in version L, the stories 'Filia' and 'Noverca' substitute for 'Roma' and 'Inclusa.'
