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

Text

Inscription or onomastic text to scan.

Extracts Roman parentage filiations such as 'M. f.' or 'filius' together with the father-name token they follow. 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]

Count

Number of filiation markers found.

Father praenomen

Token immediately preceding the first marker, empty when none found.

Marker

First filiation marker matched, empty when none found.

• Roman name elements, filiations, tribes, freed status, and origins vary across time, region, citizenship, gender, language, and inscription type. A suffix or token is evidence for review, not a unique biographical identification.
• 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.
