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

Text

Discharge formula or diploma text.

Classifies Roman military discharge wording into honesta, causaria or ignominiosa missio by the earliest matching term. 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]

Classification

Discharge type category.

Matched term

The discharge term as written, empty when unknown.

• Military ranks, units, service terms, and numerals changed across periods and provinces. Abbreviations and homonyms require context, and a detected token should not be treated as a complete career reconstruction.
• 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.

• Cohort Century Rank Token Classifier

  Classifies military unit references by counting cohort (cohors, coh.) and century (centuria, cen.) tokens.

• Boundary Stone Terminator Term Detector

  Detect boundary-declaration terms in inscription text by whole-word matching the finis family (finis, fines, finibus, finium) and terminus family (terminus, termini, terminum, termine) case-insensitively.

• Salt Efflorescence Subflorescence Type Classifier

  Classify observed salt damage as efflorescence or subflorescence according to whether crystallization occurs on the surface or beneath it.
