We have the following indirect implication of form equivalence classes:

202 \(\Rightarrow\) 77
given by the following sequence of implications, with a reference to its direct proof:

202 \(\Rightarrow\) 40 clear

Here are the links and statements of the form equivalence classes referenced above:

Howard-Rubin Number Statement
202:

\(C(LO,\infty)\): Every linearly ordered family of non-empty sets has  a choice function.

40:

\(C(WO,\infty)\):  Every well orderable set of non-empty sets has a choice function. Moore, G. [1982], p 325.

43:

\(DC(\omega)\) (DC), Principle of Dependent Choices: If \(S\)  is  a relation on a non-empty set \(A\) and \((\forall x\in A) (\exists y\in A)(x S y)\)  then there is a sequence \(a(0), a(1), a(2), \ldots\) of elements of \(A\) such that \((\forall n\in\omega)(a(n)\mathrel S a(n+1))\).  See Tarski [1948], p 96, Levy [1964], p. 136.

77:

A linear ordering of a set \(P\) is a well ordering if and only if \(P\) has no infinite descending sequences. Jech [1973b], p 23.
