Use this epigraphic utility to apply a stated parsing, transcription, measurement, dating, classification, or documentation rule consistently while preparing inscriptions for scholarly review.

Text

Funerary inscription text.

Parses 'annorum' age-at-death notations including interpunct-separated forms such as 'annorum·XX', reading Roman or decimal numerals. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.^[1]

Found

Whether an annorum notation was detected.

Years

Parsed age value, zero when not found.

Token

Matched notation substring, empty when not found.

Notation

Numeral system of the matched age.

• Roman dates and titles vary by period, locality, inclusive counting, intercalation, titulature, damaged text, and scholarly reconstruction. Consular and regnal conversions require an authoritative chronological table and explicit uncertainty.
• Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Retain the photograph, squeeze or scan, diplomatic transcription, provenance, dimensions, uncertainty marks, and corpus identifiers with the result. Confirm ambiguous cases against the relevant corpus, Leiden conventions, parallel inscriptions, and specialist judgment.

• CIL Volume-Citation Number Parser

  Parse a Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum citation of the form "CIL <volume>, <number>" with the volume given in Roman or Arabic numerals and report both forms.

• Age at Death Formula Vixit Annis Extractor

  Extracts the age at death from 'vixit annis' funerary formulas, accepting Roman numerals or digits.

• Illegible Letter N-Dot Sequence Encoder

  Encode a lacuna of n illegible letters in Leiden notation as a square-bracketed dot series such as [....], using periods by default or middle dots.
