This hapax in the NT Gospel narratives goes back to an Iranian religious tradition about the birth of the Zoroastrian Saviour, the Saoshyant. This narrative is included in some Aramaean (Syriac)-Christian texts related to the so-called “Adam’s Books.” One of the most important of these texts is the “Book of the Cave of Treasures,” which testifies to an Iranian-Aramaean religious koinè. Such writers as Herodotus, Strabo (15, 727. 733) and Plutarch (On Isis and Osir. 46) were familiar with the Zoroastrian Magi: similar traditions feed the legendary world (Aggadic) to which the work of Matthew makes reference.
