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.
 
 
 
What it '''could''' have been is that the two works were actually one play, entitled something like ''[[Eopipore, ou La Resurrection et Le Marriage de Biribi]]''("Eopipore, or The resurrection" and the marriage of Biribi) - though no  play by such a name can be traced either.

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).
