About this person
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.
