Pattern of embedded stories in this manuscript
Note: Only some of the sages are named in this text. In one case (the fourth sage, who tells 'Tentamina'), the name variation offers some confusion: the sage is named 'Macilentus', which bears resemblance to the sage name 'Maxencius', but other Version H texts -including close analogues - have 'Malquidras' as the teller of that tale.
