Made reference to; mentioned (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cited

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'made reference to' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'mentioned' is the second definition.
('cite' can be a synonym of 'mention')

(Other definitions for cited that I've seen before include "Called for" , "Summoned" , "Commended" , "Quoted or mentioned as example" , "Made reference to -- edict (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
