Real Fourth Crusade stuff: DOGE attacks Greek. The Perseus Digital Library is important for many students and scholars of ancient Greek and Latin. #DigiClass
DOGE terminated our current NEH grant with which we were developing a next generation Perseus. Luckily, much of the work has been done. We should be able to get much, though not all, of the work that we had planned done. The backend is fairly solid and results should appear on the front end soon.

A student is working on detecting gaps in text transcriptions. Does anyone in #DigiClass or beyond know of open transcriptions of ancient Greek inscriptions, in EpiDoc or otherwise, similar to papyri.info ? I've worked with literary texts and papyri, but I'm stumped on this.
