• ... that Cleitarchus' 4th century BC History of Alexander was criticized by contemporaries as being overly sensational? [1]: "Lines 9–12 express a clear judgment about Cleitarchus’ tendency to sensationalism in his writing"
  • ALT1:... that Cleitarchus' 4th century BC History of Alexander is commonly known as The Vulgate, and the works using it as a source are known as The Vulgate Tradition? [2]: "Cleitarchus' work is often called "the vulgate" (Diodorus and Curtius Rufus being "the vulgate tradition")."

• Article is new enough, long enough, and well referenced. ALT0 is interesting and verified with supplied source. I don't think ALT1 is quite as interesting. Earwig reports no copyvio. QPQ is not required. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 06:59, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
