Related to #9, the new texts have
?in their beta code in a few instances.?is supposed to mean "combining dot below," but I am given to understand it is not a real diacritical and instead marks a transcription error or omission of some sort. What's more, some of the texts use the quadrigraph(??)to signify an error, which if naively interpreted as beta code would mean "rough breathing, dot below, dot below, smooth breathing." The situation was discovered by a sanity check against duplicated diacriticals in betacode.py.We need to do something about the
?s. Single?we could just strip, on the assumption that whatever character they are annotating is actually correct. But??and(??)are likely to mark more significant errors that will cause problems with scansion whether retained or simply removed.Perseus Hopper gets it wrong: witness line 1033 of aratus which renders
