Tracing Chrysostom quotations isn't easy. One aid is the
index in PG 64. References to apocryphal works (like the Opus
imperfectum) are in italics. The index uses the volume numbers of
Montfaucon's edition (which Migne reprinted), but the column
numbers are Migne's. In my notes I have:
t.6 = PG 56 (col. 611-946 = Op. imp.)
t.7 = PG 57-58 (Mt.)
t.8 = PG 59 (Io.)
To find quotations from authentic works, it might be convenient to
download and search the English translation from the Early Church
Fathers site:
http://ccel.wheaton.edu/fathers2/
(The translation uses a rather Victorian diction: you might try "toil"
for "laborem", for example).
I hope this is of some use.
