* Is the information from note after Italian, formulated like this OR information? Thank you. [[User:Mikola22|Mikola22]] ([[User talk:Mikola22|talk]]) 07:47, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
I found the same information in the note behind Italian in the article [[Dante Alighieri]]. The information is based on the letter of Pliny the Elder, Letters 9.23. [23] L To Maximus. [[https://www.attalus.org/old/pliny9.html#9]] ''"He said that he was sitting by the side of a certain individual at the last Circensian games, and that, after they had had a long and learned talk on a variety of subjects, his acquaintance said to him: '''"Are you from Italy or the provinces?"''' Tacitus replied : "You know me quite well, and that from the books of mine you have read." "Then," said the man, "you are either Tacitus or Pliny."''
Otherwise, I've been looking for confirmation of this information and fact for almost two days(in English or Italian) and I can't find anything specific or in a secondary source as confirmation. [[User:Mikola22|Mikola22]] ([[User talk:Mikola22|talk]]) 14:04, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
