I am mystified by the double Zoora, I've looked for spaces, capitalization and can't find the discrepancy. I found the problem and it disappeared when I re-indexed. No idea what caused it. Gone now.
What should Zoar, Eastern shore of the Dead Sea become? what is its region? It's not Zoor, but Zoar. Also has no Pleiades ID.
Zoora and Zoar are the same place. Zoar0001 and Zoar0002 have been published anew in vol. 1c of "Inscriptions from Palaestina Tertia. The Jewish Aramaic Inscriptions from Ghor Es-Safi (Byzantine Zoora)", which students should work on next academic year. Alas, this volume has only transcriptions (no Hebrew characters) and translations, which doesn't make much sense -- in fact, Sacha Stern harshly criticized this choice in his review of the volume.
One more issue, related to Zoar0002: if you type Hannah in the Text Search, this inscription is not shown. I start suspecting we do have some issues to deal with when it comes to Text Search :-(
I am changing the region and settlement in the two zoar inscriptions to
<region>Negev</region>
<settlement ref="http://pleiades.stoa.org/places/697768">Zoar</settlement>
Or should I change Zoar to Zoor as well?
Change Zoar inscriptions as follows:
done, but waiting to close until it's indexed.
no zoar inscriptions left. seem to be indexing ok fixed with commit4e4bee7
Zoora appears twice, with the same region (Negev). Data need to be corrected for those inscriptions which bear "Zoora, Eastern shore of the Dead Sea"
