In this session we will illustrate the alignment between Leiden Conventions for epigraphic and papyrological transcription, and TEI (Text Encoding Initiative) XML, as recommended by the EpiDoc Collaborative, and give concrete examples of features that need to be disambiguated in XML. We shall then show the use of the Papyrological Editor as a "tags-free" EpiDoc editing environment, and propose an exercise to encode some editorial corrections from Berichtigungsliste XII in the Papyri.info interface.

Referring to the excerpts from Berichtigungsliste 12 provided by your tutor (contact gabriel.bodard@sas.ac.uk if you don't have a page and would like one), identify the entries in your pages that contain corrections or revisions to lines of Greek and Latin text, specifically: new editorial readings (indicated with a right arrow → ) or alternative readings (indicated "viell." in German).

Following the example in the video, add an apparatus entry to the Duke Databank text for each correction, and save or submit them to the board.

If in any doubt at all, or if you have any questions about your work, please save but do not submit until you have had a chance to run it past your tutor next week.
