Numbers with Non-sequential Values

Numbers with possible values that cannot be expressed as a range.

Some numbers, especially if they are damaged or incomplete, can be partially but not completely interpreted. Unlike those whose possible values can be expressed as a numerical range, the examples offered here are of numbers whose values are non-sequential; for instance, a two-digit number where the units value survives, but the tens unit does not.

No example rendering in standard epigraphic conventions.

 <gap reason="lost" quantity="1" unit="character"/>α
<certainty match="../@value" locus="value" assertedValue="21"/>

Transformation using the example EpiDoc P5 stylesheets:

  • DDbDP style: Φαῶφι [  ̣]α
