On the Nature of the Gods Cicero, Marcus Tullius 1 citation
The Sibylline prophecies are explicitly named as a source of confirming evidence for the argument.
I could recount many things from the Sibylline prophecies, many from the answers of the soothsayers, by which those things might be confirmed which ought to be doubtful to no one.

Phaedrus Plato 1 citation
The Sibyl is explicitly cited as further evidence for the value of prophetic madness.
and if we should speak of the Sibyl and all the others who by prophetic inspiration have foretold many things to many persons and thereby made them fortunate afterwards, anyone can see that we should speak a long time.

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.
