Overview
From Wikipedia, quoted unmodified under CC BY-SA 4.0; the article’s history is its list of authors.
Life
Roles and affiliation
Holding an office is not parentage and not discipleship.
What this means
As the records give them: every row is a third party’s statement, not a self-description, and a role or an affiliation is often held for one period of a life only. An affiliation is not a belief, and this site does not ask anyone about theirs. For an office: which one, for how long, and where the records give an ordinal or the holders either side. Recognition of a tenure is never universal: contested lines appear as overlapping tenures rather than as one corrected sequence.

Transmission
Teachers and students
Teaching passed from one person to another, in the direction of the arrows — not ancestry, and not succession.
What this means
In the direction the records give it. This is not biological ancestry and it is not institutional succession: a student who inherited no office still received the teaching, and an heir who received the office may have been taught by someone else entirely. It does not imply that teacher and student agreed.

History
Recorded events
What Cicero’s own record names in its history, in the order of the dates on the statements.
What this means
Events Wikidata records in a subject’s history, and the day a festival is kept. Not a complete history, and the day a festival falls on is not when it began. Each date is the one on the statement itself; an event with none is named after the line. It does not imply that these are all the events in its history, or that Wikidata ranks the events by importance.

Connections
How Cicero connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
Documented influence 3
What this means
A transmission argued from evidence. Not shared symbols, and not a short path through a database.
Does not imply shared symbols as evidence · a short path through a database
