Conjugalia Praecepta Plutarch 1 citation
Metrodorus is named directly as the source of the quoted saying about grace and marital harmony.
In like manner, I am of opinion that it behooves a woman of moderation to crave the assistance of the Graces in her behavior towards her husband, thereby (according to the saying of Metrodorus) to render their society mutually harmonious to each other, and to preserve her from being waspishly proud, out of a conceit of her fidelity and virtue.

Letters to Lucilius Seneca, Lucius Annaeus 1 citation
Metrodorus is explicitly named as affirming the same claim, used as corroborating authority.
Metrodorus, at any rate, says that the wise man alone knows how to return thanks.
letter 81 ¶
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.
