How IG Inscription Corpus Citation Formatter works
Format an Inscriptiones Graecae citation as "IG <Roman volume><edition superscript> <number>", using a superscript marker only for revised editions (1-3). 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
- Citation
- Formatted IG citation.
- Volume
- Uppercase Roman numeral of the volume.
Limitations and assumptions
- Corpus references, formula detectors, measurements, and classifiers depend on the edition, language, script, abbreviation practice, text normalization, and preservation state. Automated output should remain linked to the diplomatic transcription and image evidence.
- 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.
Alternative or Complementary approaches
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.
