Here is a query for every Atermis temple in Wikidata (mostly provided by Brady Kiessling at ToposText). I suspect that there is a bias toward Greece and that her temples elsewhere are not in Wikidata yet w.wiki/Tbx5

OCR for Ancient Greek is constrained by a lack of open training data. But the deeper challenge tackled by 2 papers from Inria is doing OCR and document structure recovery together: section hierarchies, milestone numbering, marginal references. Paper 1: arxiv.org/html/2603.02...

Thank you for the tip! I am more in charge of the TEI encoding so I don’t know yet every aspect of Isidore’s editions, but will definitely integrate this numbering system as well as it seems pretty simple

As we are focusing now on the Letters that were not edited by Évieux, we will stick to Migne’s numbering, but it is very likely that we will try to incorporate Évieux in the future!
