Version M is anomalous in a number of ways. The stories titled Filius, Nutrix, Antenor, Spurius, Cardamum, and Assassinus are unique to Version M. Additionally, in this version, the Prince is named Phiseus, and the son of the sage Cato, named Marcus, plays an important role.

The continuations or or sequels to the Seven Sages texts are closely related with Version M.
