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

Width (cm)

Face width in centimetres.

Height (cm)

Face height in centimetres.

Compute the inscribed surface area of a stone face from its width and height in centimetres, reported in square centimetres and square metres. 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]

Area (cm²)

Face area in square centimetres.

Area (m²)

Face area in square metres.

• 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.

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.

• Cartouche Enclosure Oval Aspect Ratio Checker

  Check the height-to-width aspect ratio of a cartouche or oval enclosure and report its orientation.

• Squeeze Paper Squeeze Dimension Distortion Corrector

  Correct squeeze (paper cast) dimensions back to stone-face dimensions by removing an assumed linear shrinkage or expansion of the paper.

• Tabula Ansata Panel Shape Coordinate Note Generator

  Generate a descriptive cataloguing note plus side inset and trapezoid area for a tabula ansata panel from its parallel edge lengths and height.
