Titus Flamininus Plutarch 1 citation
Cicero's treatise is explicitly invoked as testimony to settle which version of the banquet story is accurate.
for that it was not a deserter, but a prisoner, who was put to death, and one who had been condemned to die, is the testimony of many others, and especially of Cicero the orator in his treatise On Old Age, where he puts the story in the mouth of Cato himself.

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.
