This according to [[F.C.L. Bosman]] (1928: p. 126), who is the only source on the play to be found. He appears to base it on a newspaper advert  from the ''[[Kaapsche Courant]]'' of 21 June, 1809. It was offered there as a work "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, and it COULD also be read that this might have been part of the subtitle of a play entitled ''[[Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi]]''("Eopipore, or The resurrection" and the marriage of Biribi) - though no such play can be traced either.
 
 
 
In his corrections, Bosman only has the title ''[[Eopipore, ou La Resurrection]]'' and ''[[Le Marriage de Biribi]]'' as separate plays, both, or perhaps only the latter, by Barago, and both done in 1809.

1809: The play was apparently performed  in French by the [[Het Fransche Liefhebbery Geselschap|French Company]] led by [[Charles Mathurin Villet ]], on 1 July in the [[African Theatre]], Cape Town,  with ''[[Eopipore, ou La Resurrection]]'' (Anon/Barago?) and  ''[[Oromidas, ou Le Balêt de Balais]]'' (Anon).
