On Moral Ends Cicero, Marcus Tullius 1 neutral 1 citation
Named directly as a specific work invoked in the argument about Latin literature's worth.
For who is so hostile, almost, to the very name of Rome as to scorn or reject the Medea of Ennius or the Antiopa of Pacuvius, on the ground that, though he delights in the same plays of Euripides, he hates Latin letters?

De Praescriptionibus Hereticorum Tertullian 1 neutral 1 citation
Cited as a factual literary example, without endorsement or refutation, to illustrate a technique.

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.
