    nebenbei erwähnen

    Sources
    Textkritik: Leider wurde dieser Aspekt nur nebenbei erwähnt.

    Unfortunately, this aspect was only mention on the side / marginally?

    Funktionieren diese beiden Ausdrücke?

    Danke

    Or: mentioned in passing.

    @OP - wenn du "on the side" eingibst, kommen Treffer wie 'seitlich" oder 'in Seitenlage', je nach Kontext auch andere Ausdrücke, aber nirgends das doch wichtige Wort 'nebenbei'. Hätte dir zu denken geben müssen. ;-)
    Oder gibt es einen Kontext, wo man 'on the side' sagt, wenn man 'nebenbei' meint? 'Nebenbei' kann auch 'gleichzeitig' heißen oder 'parallel'...
    Bemerkt sei noch, dass 'erwähnen' / 'mention' immer etwas "Nebenbeihaftes" hat. Manchmal kann man sicher 'nebenbei' weglassen.

    Das war ja meine Frage... "on the side" scheint also nicht zu funktionieren... "in passing" und "marginally" sind ok? Gibt es noch ein simpleres Wort?

    in passing ist das Wort der Wahl.

    "Marginally" bin mir unsicher ... wenn dann würde ich eher "briefly" or "casually" verwenden.

    "As an aside" ist auch noch möglich.

    I assume the OP means:

    "was only briefly addressed/mentioned"
    or
    "was only obliquely addressed/mentioned."

    #6 A_monkey_...
    'as an aside' soll auch möglich sein? Woher hast du das?

    Das müssten mir native speaker bestätigen

    aside (noun)

    1. A remark or passage in a play that is intended to be heard by the audience but is supposed to be unheard by the other characters in the play.
    ‘Shakespeare's use of asides and soliloquies’

    1.1 An incidental remark, or one not intended to be heard by everyone present.
    ‘‘Does that make him a murderer?’ whispered Alice in an aside to Fred’

    (Oxford)

    1:  an utterance not meant to be heard by someone; especially :  an actor's speech heard by the audience but supposedly not by other characters
    2:  a comment or discussion that does not relate directly to the main subject being discussed :  digression He frequently interrupted his narrative with amusing asides.

    (Merriam-Webster)

    For me, aside as used in monkey's example relates to verbal not written communication. Oxford seems to agree with me.

    On the other hand, M-W (example for definition 2) appears to have no issue with its use in relation to writing. BE/AE difference?

    Whatever the case, a digression from the main topic is not what the OP is talking about.

    So war mir's auch.
    Und zur Anfrage passt jene Antwort in #6 also ebenfalls nicht.

    Re #9 (and related).

    Here are the definitions from Webster's New World Dictionary:
    [noun]
    1. words spoken by an actor . . . [as indicated above in #9];

    2. a written digression:
    a novelist's aside to the reader.
