This is possible. Prior to Jamaillian rule, there was the 'Old Empire'. It is mentioned in Chapter Twenty-Two, Plots and Perils, of SOM:
"The poem is called, From Kytris To His Mistress. Older than Jamaillia, from the days of the Old Empire."
These words were spoken by Kennit's charm (pretending to be Kennit) to Etta. Possibly the charm had known of the Old Empire and thus the poem via his dragon memories?
"I am the Catalyst, and I came to change all things. Prophets become warriors, dragons hunt as wolves."
