• Multipart Inscriptions

Summary

• Some supports have multiple, unrelated inscriptions (clearly, separate epidoc files for these). However, some have a single inscription split into multiple parts - for example a dedication on the front face of an altar and a list of subscribers on the sides. How to indicate this?

Examples

• CIL 06, 31140 = Denkm 003 (relevant part below)

C(aio) Serio Augurino C(aio) Trebio / 
Sergiano co(n)s(ulibus) l(ibentes) l(aeti) / 
m(erito) v(otum) s(olverunt) //  { and then on the left side, from 103 }
divo Traiano V c[o(n)s(ule)] / 
M(arcus) Ulp(ius) Iulius / 

Dependencies and rules

• Clear guidance in the guidelines for what to do with change of face. InsAph uses <cb/> to subdivide all kinds of multi-part texts, fragments, etc., in addition to division of <ab> or <div> whenever possible/useful.

Questions

• CL suggests one epidoc file with multiple <ab> elements, identifed by id?
• GB observes: Some texts, however, require text-flow across such a break, so a milestone element is needed on the same principles as for <lb/>. (Possibly something other than InsAph's rather crude <cb/>, however.)

Acceptance Tests

• Change of face may be indicated by || also.
