Quotation1
A formal citation — high verbal volume, often introduced by a saying-formula.
Explicitly introduced: 'it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be made desolate; let no one dwell therein.' Volume: a formal, formula-marked quotation with high verbal correspondence to LXX Ps 68:26 (genetheto he epaulis autou eremos). Recurrence: Psalm 69 is among the most-cited psalms in the NT and recurs in Luke's passion theology as a psalm of the righteous sufferer. Thematic coherence high; the betrayer's 'habitation' made desolate justifies vacating Judas' office. Textbook quotation.

Low confidence"May their camp be a desolation; let no one dwell in their tents" parallels the desolate-house verdict of v38.
