True enough, but it would be hard to make much of a connection between the two, given that they were written within 100 years of each other and with cultures that didn't necessarily intermingle. Even though the Romans exercised political and military control over the region, they had not yet exerted much cultural influence in the east, and to a surprising extent, they never did.
I suppose you could make the connection by pointing to common origins.
