I have created a Google sheet for this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12M7qSjMXi_v7K2boOs2OGHTAlhij3ai7ayFndyUqQYs/edit#gid=0

We want to make sure that all authors and works are referred to by the same title across the db.

A few additional things to think about:

Note from the editors:

Thanks. On the second question with with e.g. Procopius of Caesarea. Good catch. An editing error I suspect, we just correct by adding "of Caesarea" to the other Procopius refs that are missing it. I am not sure if there are other examples, I might recall seeing some "Pliny the Elder" but then a bare "Pliny" that needs enhancement too. Possible to make a list of all "authors" and see where there are any to fix?

@davidamichelson @josephrife cf. the Google sheet linked above. We can discuss this at our meeting today

Fixed for all currently uploaded records (as of 4/28/2023). I will open a separate issue when new data is ready to be checked
