The longest of these is a Judeo-Syriac version of a collection of sixty-seven of Aesop’s fables. Based on a reexamination of the two manuscripts of the text, I offer a discussion of some of the animal names attested in the fables, comparing them to the parallel Syriac, Garshuni, and Greek versions.
