description: "Mara bar Serapion, or \"Mara son of Serapion\", was a Syriac Stoic philosopher in the Roman province of Syria. He is only known from a letter he wrote in Aramaic to his son, who was named Serapion, in which he refers to the execution of \"the wise king of the Jews\", a phrase some scholars interpret as an early non-Christian reference to Jesus of Nazareth."
