This story, originating in the Latin Version H, combines two preexisting stories from the Seven Sages tradition (and particularly from the French Version A, from which H originates). The redactor-translator of the Latin Version H reordered the tales, as well as adding new material and reassigning existing stories in 'a conscious attempt at building up narrative and didactic momentum’ (Runte, 1989, p. 96). With the addition of Amatores, the redactor chose to combine Senescalcus and Roma rather than omit either of them.
