Reader feedback experimental
Tell the editors what you see
A doubtful reading, a missing reference, a search that should have found something: your observation goes straight to the editorial board of DAPCA.
How it works
-
01
What this is
A direct line to the people who edit the texts. Every observation is read by the editorial board; nothing you write here is published on the site.
-
02
What to tell us
- a reading or a restoration you would make differently;
- an error in transliteration, translation or line numbering;
- a publication, join or duplicate we have missed;
- a search that returns too much, too little or the wrong thing;
- anything that does not work, or an idea for something that should.

How to write a useful note
Say where (text and line), what you read or expected, and why (a collation, a photo, a parallel, a reference).
You can point to what you mean: type # for a text, ~ for a word, & for a name, @ for a publication, then pick it from the list (or use the buttons above the box). The editors will get a direct link. For example:
RAE 219, obv. 5′: I would read ša-ru-um rather than ša-ru-ú; the copy (pl. 12) shows a clear UM.

What happens next
The board reviews each observation and marks it as seen, then as done. Corrections that are accepted enter the edition and are credited according to the project's editorial policy. We reply only if you leave an email address (or are signed in).

Privacy
We keep your text, the page you came from and, if you give them, your name and email, which are used only to know who wrote and to answer you. Your IP address is never stored: only a one-way fingerprint of it, used to stop abuse. Messages marked as spam are deleted after 30 days.
