Excerpt from The Fables of Babrius: In Two Parts; Translated Into English Verse
Mss. At Heidelberg. This is so Clumsy a forgery that it men tions the orator Demades, who lived 200 years after zesop, and contains a whole sentence from the Book of Job. Some of the passages Bentley has shown to be fragments of Choliam bic verses, and has made it tolerably certain that they were stolen from Babrius. The second collection was made by a monk of Constantinople, Maximus Planudes, in the fourteenth century. These contain at least one Hebraism, and among them are words entirely modern, e. G. 306mm, a bird, Boot/super, a beast, and also traces of Babrius. The third col lection was found in a ms. At Florence, and published in 1809. Its date is about a century before the time of Planudes, and it contains the life which was prefixed to his collection, and commonly thought to be his own. 1 This ms., with another on paper, a transcript of one found a few years ago on Mount Athos, and containing 95 Fables, which appear as Part II. Of the present translation, the Trustees of the British Museum purchased of M. Menas in 1857.
