Overview
From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.
Later works
Later works that name Three Witches
Written in 1500 CE or later, and not religious texts: works that retell or borrow the figure, not accounts of it.
What this means
Sorted out of the accounts by each work’s own recorded date on the source clock, and by its record not marking it as a religious text: the split is worked out here, not stated by any source. A religious text of any date stays among the accounts. None of these supplies the earliest account.

Identification 1
What this means
One figure treated as another in some context. Not literal identity in all contexts, and usually a claim by a third party.
Does not imply literal identity in all contexts · that either tradition made the identification
