Whether the formula occurs.

Gender

Grammatical gender expressed.

• Funerary and votive formulas can overlap, be abbreviated, restored, reused, or appear outside their usual context. Genre classification should combine wording with monument type, findspot, layout, imagery, and scholarly parallels.
• 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.
