“Moroni is usually careful about marking the beginning and ending of the comments that he has inserted into the abridged record. For example, his comments in Ether 3:17–20; 4:1–6:1; 8:18–26; and 12:6–13:1 are readily distinguishable from the abridged portions in the book of Ether. His frequent use of the phrase ‘I, Moroni’ in Ether 1:1; 3:17; 5:1; 6:1; 8:20; 8:26; 9:1; 12:6; 12:29; 12:38; and 13:1 makes it easy to tell what Moroni has written and what he has abridged” (Keller, “Mormon and Moroni as Authors and Abridgers,” 270).
