Can I muddy the waters a bit further? :-)

In the NT there have been identifications of Pauline allusions to and
even direct citation of Greek authors. And then there's the whole
business of Jude and the Assumption of Moses. Finally, in the OT we have
the direct extended citation of "`Abed-nahar" or "Transpotamian"
documents (the Persian Empire's name for their Palestinian province) in
the Aramaic language in Ezra. These documents are embedded in a larger
narrative and so it is critical that markup can distinguish them, even
in translation. And how about when the prophets or Psalms quote the
Torah, especially the Exodus account?

What do we do about these? Is there at present a generic mechanism
whereby I can arbitrarily identify the source of quotations?

Blessings,

Kirk
