Stephanos's Citations of Pausanias the Periegete

Summary Statistics

Total citations found: 11

Unique chapters cited: 10 out of 357 (2.8%)

Books with citations: 8 out of 10

Statistical Test: Is the distribution uniform?

If Stephanos had access to all of Pausanias and cited randomly based on content, we would expect citations proportional to the length of each book.

Chi-square statistic: 4.12

P-value: 0.9032

Interpretation: The distribution is not significantly different from uniform (p ≥ 0.05). The citations appear to be reasonably well-distributed across Pausanias's books, consistent with Stephanos having had access to the complete work.

Methodology Notes

What we're testing: Whether Stephanos's citations are distributed across Pausanias in proportion to the length of each book (measured by number of sections).

Null hypothesis: Citations are uniformly distributed (Stephanos had access to all books).

Alternative: Citations are clustered in certain books (Stephanos may have had only partial access).

Caveat: With only 11 citations, the sample size is small. Additionally, Stephanos may have preferentially cited certain books for thematic reasons (e.g., focusing on geographical topics), which would skew the distribution even if he had complete access.
