2. I uploaded one pdf I uploaded for source (S#498). This is Dio's History of Rome Book 4.
There are a couple of problems with S#498. Look at how I've created Livy's book series. I'll give you additional feedback to this Source as soon as you get one of Dio's entries into Review.
Thank you for previous feeback. Here are some things I did.
I compared source of Livy and Dio little , so there is more changes to Dio source entry. Since the events are in review, I can't change now. I am not sure what to put citations for Dio though. For now,I put it as Dio.
I updated events 1463,1464,1465,1466,1467(from Dio) and assigned it to you for review
The pdf itself doesn't have chapters and verses, but I took the content from the web and added the webpage in the HTML URL page for the source
_http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Cassius_Dio/41*.html
the original text says
14 1 Now at the very moment of coming to land at Dyrrachium he learned that he should not obtain a prosperous outcome. For thunderbolts destroyed some soldiers even as the ships were approaching; spiders occupied the army standards; and after he had left the vessel serpents followed and obliterated his footprints. 2 These were the portents which came to him personally, but for the whole capital others had occurred both that year and a short time previously; for there is no doubt that in civil wars the state is injured by both parties. Hence many wolves and owls were seen in the city itself 3 and continual earthquakes with bellowings took place, fire darted across from the west to the east, and another fire consumed the temple of Quirinus as well as of the buildings. The sun, too, suffered a total eclipse, and thunderbolts damaged a sceptre of Jupiter and a shield and a helmet of Mars that were votive offerings on the Capitol, and likewise the tables which contained the laws. 4 Many animals brought forth creatures outside of their own species, some oracles purporting to be those of the Sibyl were made known, and some men became inspired and uttered numerous divinations.
event 1467 /Text 1926
Even though text says "sun too suffered total eclipse", I am wondering this is not solar eclipse and it looks like a metaphorical way of saying. For now, I kept it under solar eclipse. If it is not real solar eclipse, I will add the text to event 1466
event 1465
Since the sentence is parsed for categorization, the original text becomes "continual earthquakes with bellowings took place". So, first letter in the first word becomes small letter and I removed ',' after last word. Shall I put period at the end?. Also there is no context to the text but it may be fine as we put the location.
event 1464 : For this taxonomy(animal prodigy), text has contents from 3 different verses(1,2 and 4). I put it like this.
{v 1}spiders occupied the army standards; and after he had left the vessel serpents followed and obliterated his footprints.
{v 2} These were the portents which came to him personally, but for the whole capital others had occurred both that year and a short time previously; for there is no doubt that in civil wars the state is injured by both parties. Hence many wolves and owls were seen in the city itself
...
{v 4 }Many animals brought forth creatures outside of their own species, some oracles purporting to be those of the Sibyl were made known, and some men became inspired and uttered numerous divinations.
- verses 1 and 2 are continuous. As per the original text, there is no paragraph separation, but I put a blank line between them. Is this right?
Between verse 2 and 4, shall I put '...'?. If so, Does the blank line with 3 spaces needed?
- I put the verse range 1 to 4
- verses 1,2 contains words like he, him doesn't talk about who the person is. Do we need to the person name (Pompey) in some sort of brackets?
I think these questions will cover for rest of Dio's content.
