c2.3
A small italic letter after a paragraph reference and followed by a parenthesis is used when the name to which it is added does not connote the principal actor of the narrative, but is only incidentally mentioned, though the narrative is, either solely, or at least chiefly, concerned with it. If further information is required, it must be looked for under the heading given within parenthesis, where the name in question is mentioned, the small italic letter being added within parenthesis as a kind of cross-reference.
