Reminds me of someone asking how to cite the Bible. Whether or not you can just go “John 3:16” or “His Majesty King James VI of Scotland and I of England, Ireland and France - 1611 ‘Authorised Version’ Translation of The Bible - John Chapter Three Section 16”
Although if you were directly quoting it, I think stating the translation would be more important than if you were referencing it.
I don’t believe we have a single book in the bible written in 0 CE. I’m docking points for incorrectly citing the publication date on the book you reference.

Translations are important, and with the Cyropaedia I did need to use the translation. For the Principia, because I wanted to flex, I provided my own translation. I could have cited the text book, but that would be less fun.
Not OP, but attend undergrad. When I was in undergrad I specialized in chemistry, but I still needed to take breadth requirement courses in humanities and social sciences. So I did papers in chemistry, physics, statistics, political theory, ancient Greek history, and English throughout my undergrad.
A degree in the classics pays absolute shit, and math teachers are still paid shit, albeit slightly more than Starbucks. It turns out I hate children more than anticipated.
It depends on the field.
In an intro to physics course, I’ve cited the Principia before without issues.
I’ve also cited the Cyropaedia in a philosophy course.
I got a significant penalty for citing a 2013 article for a software design paper.

The Bible, The Lord; 0 AD
Be bold, dare your teacher to dock you points for it.

In fact, I don’t think anything at all was written in 0 AD
The calendar, obviously /s

Did you just translate the Koine Greek yourself?? 😂
What do you do to write for physics, philosophy and software design papers?

I’m working on my third bachelor’s degree.

Guessing that last one was in 2014
