Square brackets [ ] around a name indicate that the associated work is spurious, that is, probably not written by the accredited author but by someone whose identity is uncertain. Ellipses between square brackets indicate that the passage has been abridged in translation. Text between < > (less than and greater than symbols) indicates that a lacuna has been filled with a phrase or sentence supplied exempli gratia.
