Quote or mentioned with @type="lemma" option #136

Very often in an Aristotelian context an explanation of a text will include a lot of close references to the text. This could be an example of a division of a chunk of text:

Primo enim determinat de intellectu possibili per compositionem ad sensum,
secundo determinat de intellectus possibilis obiecto ibi "quoniam autem aliud
est magnitudo", tertio movet quasdam dubitationes circa ipsum ibi "dubitabit
autem aliquis." Prima in duas. Primo enim determinat de intellectu per
compositionem ad sensum secundum convenientiam, secundo determinat de intellectu
possibili secundum compositionem ad sensum secundum differentiam ibi "unde et
misceri". Prima in duas, secundum quod duo sunt praesens, quae sensus et
intellectus possibilis conveniunt, secundum ibi "necesse itaque."

Later in the text you will see detailed exposition of every line/word in the text along the lines of 

Deinde cum dicit "dubitabit autem aliquis", et hic intendit Philosophus ...

All these references to the primary source are traditionally referred to as lemmata, and a often considered to have a slightly different status in the text than any other quotations. They will therefore also often have a different graphical representation.

The question is now: How is this best expressed in the encoding? Currently what I do is I mark them as <quote type="lemma">. An alternative would be to use <mentioned type="lemma"> or maybe something completely different. I use the quote because that is what is looks like to me. The phrase is not referred to as a material supposition used in a discussion of the linguistic phenomenon (which I partly associate mentioned with), but merely works as a reference quote pointing us to the source text.

So I vote for <quote type="lemma"> until I'm giving a better suggestion.

But I think it's something we could schematize as it is a common phenomenon, and I'm sure it's just as common in any other commentary tradition.

We like this idea. We could use this as an example of the phenomenon as well as a passage from a theological context to illustrate.

This divisio textus is one good example. Another good example is the expositio litterae from an arts commentary. I can find another example to show that version of lemmas too.
