This passage cites specific detail verbatim, which requires quotation marks and parenthetical documentation.

Note carefully the …, which means that the phrase is lifted out of the middle of a sentence. Note the use of parentheses, the author’s name, NO COMMA, the page # with NO PG or PAGE, and the period OUTSIDE of the last parenthesis.

If you use the author’s name in the text, it does not need to be in the parentheses.

The author’s names are used here to distinguish between primary texts and critical texts.
