Orations Dio Chrysostom 1 neutral 1 citation
Theognis is named as author of popular counsel-poetry, cited to illustrate poetry unfit for kings.
Perhaps some of them might be called popular pieces, since they offer counsel and exhortation to the common crowd and to private men—such, I suppose, as the verses of Phocylides and Theognis.

De amicorum multitudine Plutarch 1 refuted 1 citation
The passage explicitly frames Theognis's advice as something any sensible person would deride as absurd and impossible, a clear rejection of its application to friendship.
Now is there any person living of that industrious, pliant, and universal humor, who can take the pains exactly to imitate all shapes, and will not rather deride the advice of Theognis as absurd and impossible, namely, to learn the craft of the polypus, which puts on the hue of every stone it sticks to?
de amicorum multitudine ¶
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.
