I am using natbib and amsthm. If I use \citep[Thm. 4.5]{key} in the options of my theorem environment I get the error:

Argument of \NAT@@citetp has an extra }. \begin{thm}[\citep[Thm]

Why can't I put a citep with options into the options of a theorem environment? Below I have my code sample.

Thank you, for your help

 \begin{Theorem}[\citep[Thm]{cs_Foucart13}]

means the option to Theorem is

\citep[Thm

and things go wrong from there.

Use

\begin{Theorem}[{\citep[Thm]{cs_Foucart13}}]

This applies to any LaTeX2e optional argument, not just theorems.
