dear friends,
before the chapters and verses of the high middle ages, reference was made
to the palestinian sedarim and babylonian parashot. can one find canonical
lists of names, titles, etc. for these particular divisions?  for example,
exodus ch. 18, as what ....?  "yithro"? exodus ch. 20 as "ten
commandments"?  etc?  any directions will be appreciated....


I suspect that the Parsha might have been used.  This is the weekly reading of the Torah and would thus be a larger section than chapter & verse, but it would have been manageable.  See http://www.chassidus.net/.  Click on search and enter "parsha".  Terms are explained at the end of the sections.
