From the readme: https://github.com/PerseusDL/lexica/tree/master/CTS_XML_TEI/perseus/pdllex/lat/ls#readme, this attribution is required:

Text provided under a CC BY-SA license by Perseus Digital Library, http://www.perseus.tufts.edu, with funding from The National Endowment for the Humanities.
Data accessed from https://github.com/PerseusDL/lexica/ [date of access].

I maintain a site that has an interface Lewis and Short with some convenient reading features (handling of abbreviations, syntax highlighting, mobile friendly, etc... - you can an example article here: https://www.morcus.net/dicts?q=habeo ). I am of course crediting Perseus Digital Library for the content, but I am seeking assistance on the second line:

Data accessed from https://github.com/PerseusDL/lexica/ [date of access].

I have a fork of the repo (at https://github.com/nkprasad12/lexica - this is because sometimes I have changes that are not yet ready for a Pull Request to your repo, and sometimes your repo has changes that I have not yet had time to validate for my abbreviation handling system) from which I am pulling the latest changes to deploy to my website on an automated basis several times a week.

Due to this, it is hard to maintain an accurate date of access from the PerseusDL/lexica repo. For clarity, I was wondering whether it would be acceptable to display this slightly modified version of the attribution instead:

Text provided under a CC BY-SA license by Perseus Digital Library, http://www.perseus.tufts.edu, with funding from The National Endowment for the Humanities.
Data originally from https://github.com/PerseusDL/lexica/ .
Data accessed from https://github.com/nkprasad12/lexica/ [date of access].

Hi @nkprasad12 I wouldn't worry about the date of access in this case. That was an adaptation from the Chicago Manual for website bibliographical info (we get lots of these questions). For your type of reuse, feel free to just give the link to this repo with whatever explanation works for you. I'm sure that, given all of your wonderful efforts, it will be more than adequate!

Thanks @lcerrato !
