I have a longer text. Let's say I have a numbered list, like this, 

>(1) Item 1
    
>(2) Item 2
    
>(3) Item 3

Later I want to reference the list, such as 

> As described above, cf. [this is where the word should be inserted] (1) and (2), we observe that beef is very unhealthy.  

However, numbers in brackets (1) are already reserved for formulas in my text. How can I reference these points? I was thinking about "bullet point (1)" and "bullet point (2)". However, they aren't really bullet points. Any ideas?
