In some books (namely, The Iliad, The Bible, Seneca's Letters) I've seen paragraphs, lines or sentences are numbered.

There is a couple of books I'd like to have properly formatted, and they have just that enumeration. Unfortunately, I don't know the term for this and can't find out what's the correct way to do that in epub.

Should these be just regular text or is there a tag for them?

You can download a free version of Dante's Divine Comedy from ReadBeyond (Inferno, Purgatorio, Paradiso), these are well formatted epubs that also have numbered lines. You may find useful to look inside them and check their structure, to see if you can replicate these CSS settings for your own needs.

I think currently there's no way to embed enumeration in paragraphs, but here's what seems to be recommended for poetry (and I think it applies to ancient philosophy as well): bencrowder.net/blog/2011/06/formatting-poetry-epub-kindle/
TL:DR - numbers go to separate span of class num and have their own CSS definitions. I'll go with that and see how it renders in readers I use.
