Text

Inscription text to scan for a tribe clause.

Detects Roman tribe assignment clauses in either 'Fabia tribu' or 'tribu Galeria' order and reports the tribe name. 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]

Found

Whether a tribe clause was detected.

Tribe name

Capitalized tribe name detected, empty when none found.

Clause

The matched clause substring, 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.
