Note on grouping:
- Runte (2014) lists this as a Version A text. - Arlima lists this as a Version A text (following Runte). - Coco (2016) lists this as a Version A text (following Arlima). - JONAS lists this as a Version L text, possibly following Aïache-Berne. - Gaston Paris (1876) says, 'Je ne puis m’expliquer la composition de ce texte qu’en admettant que le copiste avait à sa disposition un ms. de L fort endommagé vers la fin.’ Paris continues, noting that the story Filia is missing, replaced with an allusion to Sapientes, and that despite following L closely for the majority of the text, the end of the narrative exactly mirrors the details and structure of A instead.
