# Text sources and rights

Stoic Pulse bundles a curated selection of complete passages from public-domain
English translations. Punctuation and typographic quotation
marks follow the Standard Ebooks editions.

All 100 passages and their locators were verified against the pinned revisions
below for version 1.1.0. The bank contains 55 Marcus Aurelius, 25 Epictetus, and
20 Seneca passages. Editorial footnote markers are omitted.

For *Meditations* and *Discourses*, paragraph numbers count the direct body
paragraphs in the named book or chapter of these editions, excluding headings
and inset quotations. They are edition-specific paragraph references, not
conventional numbered sections. *The Enchiridion* and Seneca references use the
editions' numbered sections and chapters.
