Place names in the Greek text are automatically marked using data from the Recogito Annotation Database. If a name appears multiple times in a section, but with different links or coordinates, it refers to different places. The marking of its different occurrences in the Greek text might then be ambiguously matched.
The marking follows alphabetical order from the database, which may not match the order by which the same name appear in the text — so coordinates, links and descriptions ascribed to the first occurrence of the name in the text might belong to the second.
These cases are highlighted in bold orange. Hover over a name to compare coordinates, links and descriptions to the meaning of the surrounding text.
Hovering a name also highlights and zooms its location on the map.Tip: Hold Shift and draw a rectangle to zoom manually.
