Subarmalis in the literary sources

[mcbishop]

Thank you. I notice that some lines of the transcription contain Arabic numerals; do you know what the represents? The notes make it sound like it is the line numbers, but we already have those in bold cycling from 1 to 13.

If you look at the pop-up notes pane you'll see that they refer to those numbers as an absolute location (35 and 40 are the obvious ones), but it does get a bit confusing with the translation where Arabic numbers represent... numbers! Can't find my TVII at the moment (still sorting my library after moving 4 months ago) so can't cross-check with the paper version. Unhelpful that the translation does not line up with the transliteration, but hey, better to have it than not.

Frustratingly, the note says that the editor is not sure whether any line has "subarmalis" but that it is his best guess.

Standard practice for any of the important discoveries in the TVs – Coria, which by now has passed into the stream of human knowledge as the name for Corbridge, is far less certain an association than might at first seem (and includes its occurrence in a peculiar case a non-Latinist like me was unaware of... geolocational or something ;-) ).
