Motivation edit
The copy of the inscription should be literal. To be able to understand or search it, I think an unabbreviated version can be helpful. (Add your motivation for this property here.) --- Jura 09:22, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

- Is needed I think. Proposal could be worked out more though. Has to be considered how to resolve abbreviations etc. Any epigraphers here? --Marsupium (talk) 13:16, 10 July 2019 (UTC)
- As for any claim, if the unabbreviated version is questionable, a reference should be provided. --- Jura 17:45, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
Comment The abbreviations (at least in these examples) seem to be related to a particular person - wouldn't it make more sense to add the abbreviation as an alternate label on that person? ArthurPSmith (talk) 20:55, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
- I think that would be a different usecase. Some are about persons, others not. Also, even for persons, I don't think we have items for all of them. They might be good candidates for aliases though. --- Jura 19:13, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
