A revision of some of the Greek novel topics and loci paralleli that we can find in a lost work, known as The Apocryphon of Jannes and Jambres. The author and the date are unknown but 7 –perhaps 8– testimonies from the original text have been preserved thanks to the papyri and parchments. They correspond to different supports and languages.
