Four kinds of material need separating when quoting XIX and XXII. (1) Aristotle as translated: the Thought list, the incident/speech rule, the clear-without-mean ideal, the riddle/jargon failures. (2) Edition apparatus whose author the file does not name: the contents list, with 'Intellectual element' and 'elevation of language with perspicuity', neither of which appears in the chapter bodies. (3) Translator conventions the file does not explain: the parenthetical '(or rare)' after 'strange', square brackets around XX and parts of XXI, a placeholder for 'ornamental word', and Greek rendered as letter names. (4) Deferrals and an internal wobble: XIX defers to the Rhetoric and to Delivery, and VI gives two differently worded definitions of Diction. No claim here depends on the Greek, which was not read.

Curator qualifications: Separating translator and edition apparatus from Aristotle is a useful attribution caution; provenance of the brackets is unverified.

Evidence status: curator/producer inference or synthesis from the cited sources (code read, not executed, where code is cited); correlated desk review (Claude); not independently reviewed.
