Cool. Please keep me posted. (And let me know if you'd like me to post a query to the list for you—if you're not a member.)

Super cool. I'd very much like to chat with you about all this stuff. We'll be in touch!

Back to EpiDoc: A query to the www.jiscmail.ac.uk/EPIDOC-MARKUP list would surely return pointers to dozens of repos of EpiDoc files with Greek inscriptions. I'd love to see that list!

At a larger scale the Pythia (github.com/sommerschiel...) and Ithaca (github.com/sommerschiel...) repos have a pipeline for building the I.Phi corpus precisely for ML analysis of fragments and gaps. I haven't tried to replicate the process, but it would be roughly Papyri.info scale, I think.

I believe Inscriptions of the Northern Black Sea also have EpiDoc files available (github.com/kingsdigital...), but I haven't checked how up to date these are.

Many EpiDoc projects listed at: wiki.digitalclassicist.org/Category:Epi... . At least some I haven't thought of will have downloadable XML.

EpiDoc: There are repos for I.Aphrodisias (github.com/Aphrodisias/...), IRCyr (github.com/kingsdigital...), IGCyr (doi.org/10.6092/unib...), ICretaInst (github.com/IreneVagiona...) with c. 100s – 1000s of EpiDoc files in each.

Possible yes. But less likely that we'd know the date if so. If we could pin it to a day and month, it must be via a known, dated ancient festival, surely? Just interested if anyone has an ancient source for the occasion, anyway.

(*) I don't know an ancient source for this date, given in multiple modern/popular mentions. It's currently not accepted by Wikipedia for want of reliable citation. The Dionysia doesn't normally seem to have been held in November, does it?

Still, as good a day as any to celebrate thespianism eh?
