Erasure Seen by Earlier Editors

Signs or spaces deliberately erased in antiquity, seen by earlier editors but no longer visible on the support.

Syntax

An optional sequence of witness identifiers separated by semicolons ; interrupted by a colon :, followed by any notation of a phenomenon (IbiUnit) allowed within Erasure, thus enclosed between double square brackets [[…]], wrapped by low lines _…_.

Overview

• ω;…:ᵟ = optional series of witnesses.
• ω,…ᵟ = parsed optional series of witnesses.
• ω;…ol.ᵟ = rendering of the optional series of witnesses followed by the abbreviation of the Latin olim.
• ⊙ ∈ ERASURE_ALLOWED = any phenomena allowed within Erasure (notation, AST or rendering depending on its placement).
• ‽ᵟ ∈ {?, !, ε} = uncertainty marker ?, certainty marker !, or empty string (ε).
• γ ∈ {Low, High, Medium} = certainty level corresponding to the marker used in the notation.
• ◇ᵟ ∈ {⯑, ⯁, ε} = rendering of the uncertainty/certainty marker in the notation or empty string (ε).
