De legendis gentilium libris Basil of Caesarea 1 refuted 1 citation
The fox image is raised only to be rejected as a model of conduct.
Shall we, indeed, despise wealth and dishonour the pleasures of the senses, but pursue flattery and fawning, and emulate the craft and cunning of Archilochus' fox?

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.
