also in the atlas: Ephorus the figure
The library holds nothing under this name. Three of its books reach for it anyway — that is what puts it on the corpus's wanted list.

Orations Dio Chrysostom 1 refuted 1 citation
Ephorus's history is cited but explicitly judged as not fitting, a mild rejection relative to the others praised.
But Ephorus hands down much history, though the flat and relaxed character of his narrative is not suited to you.
oration 88 ¶ -
Vitae philosophorum Diogenes Laertius 1 neutral 1 citation · 2 passages
Ephorus is cited twice as offering alternative versions of the sages' meeting and membership, reported neutrally.
for which Ephorus substitutes a meeting without Thales at the court of Croesus.
book 1 ¶ -
Pericles Plutarch 1 neutral 1 citation · 2 passages
Ephorus' account is reported and then implicitly weighed against a rival source (Heracleides Ponticus) and against Duris.
Ephorus says that Pericles actually employed siege-engines, in his admiration of their novelty, and that Artemon the engineer was with him there, who, since he was lame, and so had to be brought on a stretcher to the works which demanded his instant attention, was dubbed Periphoretus.
chapter 27 ¶
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.
