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's ultimatum to Coriantumr (13:20-21) fixes the terms of the extinction: repent and be spared, or every soul be destroyed save Coriantumr himself, who would 'only live to see' another people take the land and 'receive a burial by them'. The prophecy lands generations later in Amaleki's record: the sole survivor Coriantumr is found by the people of Zarahemla and dwells with them nine moons (Omni 1:21) — 'another people' who had received the land, exactly as foretold. The text shows the discovery and the nine-month sojourn; the burial itself is implied, not narrated. The in-book countdown to the last two men standing (15:23-32) and Moroni's closing notice that Ether 'beheld that the words of the Lord had all been fulfilled' (15:33) confirm the prophecy internally; that in-book fulfillment notice is prose support, not a second record. The reinforcing word to Ether that 'Coriantumr should not fall by the sword' (14:24) is the same prophecy's guarantee that its subject would survive to see the end. Disambiguation: this Coriantumr — Ether's last king and, in the prophecy's own terms, the final battle's sole survivor (the prophet Ether alive to record the end) — is not the Coriantumr of Helaman 1:15 (a Nephite dissenter, 'a descendant of Zarahemla,' who led a Lamanite army against Zarahemla some centuries later); the two are separate men.
