Abstract
This article deals with the issue of the authenticity of three Jewish authors whose works have not been preserved. Their names are only known to us through a fragment from Anatolius of Laodicaea, which is cited by Eusebius of Caesarea. These Jewish authors are Mousaios and two Agathoboulois. This paper analyzes the Christian context in which these names have reached us. It also argues that the corpus of the Jewish texts written in Greek was larger than that which the remaining fragments and citations may suggest.
