This could also be <note n="y" type="crossReference">Cited from <reference
osisRef="Exod.21.24 Lev.24.20 Deut.19.21">Exodus 21:24, Leviticus 24:20 and
Deuteronomy 19:21</reference></note>
WRT the note attribute, the osisID is present for completeness. The both SWORD
and JSword ignore it. Likewise for the osisRef. By convention, it is the verse
that is referenced by the note.
In this rework, I deliberately used the full names of the books for the link
text, but it could just have well been in German or Farsi. And I changed the
punctuation and also introduced other verbage (i.e. "and").
While the n attribute is currently ignored by SWORD, it is the publisher's
supplied footnote marker. Currently, SWORD uses 'x'.

I'd like to see <scriptRef> have the passage or osisRef attribute. Preferably
the latter as the content is not made of arbitrary/inconsistent book names and
has a well defined syntax.
Without the attribute, JSword has to parse the body of the reference, assuming
that it is something that can be parsed.

With Chris' suggestion you'd have either or both and even under user preference.
<seg type="x-refList" osisRef="Exod.21.24 Lev.24.20 Deut.19.21" n="x">Cited
from <reference osisRef="Exod.21.24">Ex. 21:24</reference>; <reference
osisRef="Lev.24.20">Lev. 24:20</reference>; <reference
osisRef="Deut.19.21">Deut. 19:21</reference></seg>
In Him,
