Summary
Below is a list of the most relevant passages in Pliny's letters in which scholars have detected potential links to Cicero, both literal references and thematic echoes. I referred to several of them in Chapter 5, but they are so numerous that the detailed list of passages needed to be deferred to this Appendix. As a target of allusion, Cicero's case is only apparently privileged, and my notes to the table are often aimed at questioning traditional identifications.
The following abbreviations are used for the secondary sources (for Lenaz, Schuster, Sherwin-White, and Trisoglio the reference is always ad locum):
Guillemin = Guillemin 1929
Lenaz = Lenaz 1994
Schuster = Schuster-Hanslik 1958
S-W = Sherwin-White 1966
Trisoglio = Trisoglio 1973
Ussani Ⅰ = Ussani 1970
Ussani Ⅱ = Ussani 1974–5
For names that do not appear in the above list, see the general List of Works Cited. The names appearing in the third column of the table do not indicate the work in which the parallel has been first proposed, but rather the scholarly contribution that devotes the most space to its discussion and an account of relevant bibliography.
