| − | Neither the play nor the author can be traced in any other source than [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928: p. 126), based on a newspaper advert from the ''[[Kaapsche Courant]]'' of 21 June, 1809. It was offered there as a work by "Sire Barago" and "translated and turned into verse by [[C.E. Boniface]]". He actually lists two plays (''[[Eopipore, ou La Resurrection]]'' and ''[[Le Marriage de Biribi]]'') on page 126, but in his corrections however, Bosman adds the title ''[[Eopipore, ou La Resurrection]]'' to the list of translations by Boniface on page 124, attributing it also to Barago and indicating that it was produced produced in 1809. No mention of a translation entitled ''[[Le Marriage de Biribi]]'' is given in the list on page 124 however.
