II. Complex Substitutions

These codes are complex because we are indicating the relationship between a diacritical mark and a letter, or a sequence of letters. For a single letter or a sequence of letters, represented as "xx" below, the codes are as below. (Thus, ultimately, a separate SGML entity is defined for each letter/diacritic combination.)

SGML Entity	Example Location	Example Image
&xx-hbar;	C line 2
&xx-alpha;	E line 6
&xx-til;	C line 459
&xx-omeg;	G line 5
&xx-nine;	C line 102
&xx-e;	T line 101
&xx-vbar;	G line 8
&xx-u;	T line 732
&xx-o;	T line 731
&xx-dot;	C line 1364 (only occurs with "y")
&xx-foo;	E line 1003 (only occurs with "i")

III. Miscellaneous

The following SGML elements/tags indicate extraordinary line configurations.

SGML Entity	Example Location	Example Image
<del>xx</del>	C line 390a
cui &s;o<add place=supralinear>t</add>	C line 504
l<add place=infralinear>dot</add>e	T line 743

IV. Unclear Readings

The following SGML elements/tags indicate where our editors were not confident of the reading given or unable to decipher it.

SGML Entity	Example Location	Example Image
n<unclear>e</clear>uiele&s;	A line 56
fai&s; <gap>v&re-hbar; oe&s;	A line 479

V. Large Letters

The number given indicates that the manuscript letter is a certain number of lines high. Within the transcription, the manuscript appears with the first indented line.

SGML Entity	Example Location	Example Image
&LargeA-8;	A line 1

V. Line numbers, foliotation, and column markers
