It is variously entitled 'Susanna' (Syro-Hex.) or 'History of Susanna' (so Syr. WXA or 'Daniel' (Syr. V2., ' The Book of little Daniel; the History of Susanna'), or 'The Judgment of Daniel, ' &c. The last title is certainly that which expresses the clearest insight into the real point of the story. So far as is known, its claims to credibility and consequently to canonicity were first called in question by the historian Julius Africanus, circ. 240 A.d., who expressed his doubts in a letter to Origen.
