    By the power of the magical incantation: Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem - I declare this legend to be true.

    Comments anyone?

    No so strange at all. There are many similar stupid things over here.

    Sounds like the Kashmiri legend, which I think is of some antiquity - and also a good deal more likely (if the term is meaningful in this context). There were plenty of trade links between Rome and India at the time, and many of them would have been mediated through Israel/Lebanon. Also, northern India had been included in the Classical world since Alexander. Japan, on the other hand, is a bit of a stretch...

    This site has more information on the Japanese version.

    cordially,
