Three hundred Aesop’s fables, Literally Translated From the Greek, sentence 68

Planudes may have invented some few fables, or have inserted some that were current in his day; but there is an abundance of unanswerable internal evidence to prove that he had an acquaintance with the veritable fables of Æsop, although the versions he had access to were probably corrupt, as contained in the various translations and disquisitional exercises of the rhetoricians and philosophers.

Who acts: some, abundance, versions · What happens: invent, insert, be, prove, have, access · To what, where: Planudes, acquaintance, versions, various translations, rhetoricians
