Before retiring for the night I have quickly checked out your suggestion
(and don't worry about the change of date to 2009, since this is the
real date I need to deal with):
[alternative=author,
righttext={{ca. 350 BCE/2009}}]
[main::aristotle2009ethics]
produces:
Aristotle ca. 350 BCE/2009
Nearly there, so to get parentheses around it and produce (Aristotle,
ca. 350 BCE/2009), this is how I treated the entire paragraph where the
citation appears:
Aristotle understood that character is formed through repeated action.
We become just or unjust, courageous or cowardly, temperate or
self-indulgent through what we repeatedly choose and practise (\cite
[alternative=author,
righttext={{ca. 350 BCE/2009}}]
[main::aristotle2009ethics]). Actions become habits, habits shape
character, and character influences what becomes easier or harder to
perceive and choose. Human beings remain capable of change, but freedom
gradually acquires a history.

No problem at all, Julian — take your time. Translation work has a way
of absorbing the whole day!
I’ll be interested to hear what you get from the test when you have a
chance to try it.
Have a good evening.

Caught up in other work right now JP (translation), and already
evening here, so it might be tomorrow before I can get back to this.
I'll let you know how it goes.
