Not “missing” at all.

The amulet indicates that the story was known in the 5th century. Not that it was true.

Would an amulet bearing an image of Hercules defeating a monster prove that story's truth? Or that it was a story known and told at the time.

The "Testament of Solomon" is not inspired scripture. It's early Hebrew fan fiction.

2000 years from now they are going to find a Harry Potter doll and decide that this proves he was a real person.

>> a chapter written between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, but it was not accepted into the canonical Bible due to its emphasis on magic and demonology. <<

Or, you know, the fact that it wasn’t part of the original text...

Imagine claiming to be a Christian and then believing this garbage.

If a work didn’t fit the Church’s desperate need to control the narrative, they thru it out.
