This connection's citations are checked against the source text.
The mark sits beside every quote a connection carries. It reports one thing: those words were found in the frozen source text at the reference this page cites, allowing only typographic differences such as curly quotes, dash forms and spacing.
It is not a tier signal, and it is not a judgment about the connection. Where a card carries the Interpretive badge, the reading is still offered with its evidence for you to weigh — the mark speaks only to the citations.
The badges and the mark are separate signals: Textual and Interpretive name the kind of claim a connection makes, while the mark reports that the connection's citations were checked.
Ether 4:1 names king Mosiah as the custodian who kept the sealed Jaredite record from the world until after Christ; Mosiah 28:17 is the narrated point where Mosiah had translated that record ('an account of the people who were destroyed'). Paraphrase, not shared-phrasing — no verbatim run; the tie is Mosiah's custody-and-translation of the Jaredite account. The tower-clause home is mos-mosiah2-tower (Mosiah 28:17 ↔ Omni 1:22); 'confounded the language of the people' stands at exactly three verses corpus-wide — Mosiah 28:17, Omni 1:22, Ether 1:33. Ether 1:5 gives the abridgment's scope, 'a part of the account I give, from the tower down until they were destroyed', matching 28:17's 'back to the building of the great tower'.
