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.
Named citation by speaker. The Nephite dissenter Aminadab, in the Lamanite prison, names Zeezrom among the three who taught the Lamanites 'faith in Christ' (Helaman 5:41) -- third-party confirmation, from outside the Nephite church and two generations on, of the single verse that closed Zeezrom's Ammonihah arc: that he 'began from that time forth to preach unto the people' (Alma 15:12). Distribution check: within the corpus, Alma, Amulek, and Zeezrom are named together as a teaching trio only at Helaman 5:41; the three are otherwise co-present only as Alma's Zoramite-mission company (Alma 31:6, 31:32, where the verse-level pairing is 'Amulek and Zeezrom'). No earlier single verse sets all three names side by side. Tier: textual paraphrase -- the office (preach/teach) is named at both ends; this is a same-fact attestation across about a 52-year gap (Zeezrom's Ammonihah baptism fell in the tenth year of the judges, Alma 15:19; Helaman 5 opens in the sixty-second, Helaman 4:18 + 5:1), not a verbatim phrase match.
