Every run of seven words or more that appears both here and in another book on this shelf, merged into the longest passage they have in common. On the Acts shares wording with 5 of the other 37. This is quotation, or a common source, or one translator doing both — not a resemblance inferred from vocabulary.

Quotation, here, means a named attribution or a commentary working through the text — not a guess from shared vocabulary.
Of the sixty counted across the shelf, the ones this book names most. A name is counted wherever it is written, whoever is speaking. Each one has a page of its own listing every chapter, in every book, that carries it.
Translator: Schaff, NPNF 1.11, 1889. Source: CCEL.
The text here is the translation in Philip Schaff’s Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, first series, volume 11, 1889 — public domain, from the text at the Christian Classics Ethereal Library.
Preached at Constantinople in 400 or 401 and preserved in Greek, though in a text the editors describe as the worst-transmitted of all his works.
Public domain, and free to read, copy and quote. Nothing on this page is written by anyone living: the words are the translator’s and the counts are the text’s.
