book 1 ¶
The harvest records where a citation is made: the paragraph in the citing book, and the chapter that paragraph stands in. It does not record which page of this text is meant. Where the citing text names a locus, you will find it in the quotation.

- beside a chapter, the passages anchored there. A single citation can quote more than one passage, which is why a row carries two figures: the citations the harvest recorded, and the passages its chapters add up to.
Every row here is derived from the harvest, not curated: the citation ledger holds the whole of it, and the atlas states the method.
