#83 Examples of apparatus on translation in Guidelines

[BODARD Gabriel]

It would be useful to add to the Guidelines an example of apparatus criticus being offered to the translation division. (Probably using div[@type='apparatus'][@subtype='translation'] or similar?)

(As per discussion on Markup in September 2014.)

[BODARD Gabriel]

Pietro will approach the South Arabian Inscription folks to solicit examples.

[Pietro Maria Liuzzo]

The following are the examples and I think they could be added to the guidelines.

DASI project considers as apparatus:

1) notes that provide alternative translations, like [http://dasi.humnet.unipi.it/index.php?id=dasi_prj_epi&prjId=1&recId=1292]

    <div type="translation xml:id="CSAI_415">
                <p>
        <lb n="1"/>Ṣbḥhmw son of ʿms²fq, of the family Rs²wn, 
                    <lb n="2"/>the one from Nashq, dedicated to ʾlmqh master of 
                    <lb n="3"/>Myfʿm the inscription and its support (?), all 
                    <lb n="4"/>his sons and all his properties in Nashqum and in its 
                    <lb n="5"/>territory, when he fought with Sabaʾ and Rkbn 
                    <lb n="6"/>on an expedition (?) and overcame the army of Maʿīn in the lower 
                    <lb n="7"/>part of ʾtmy; and when he fought with his tribe 
                    <lb n="8"/>Rkbn with the army of Sabaʾ into the land of 
                    <lb n="9"/>Ḥaḍramawt and they destroyed three [... ...] 
                    .....
                </p>
      </div>

    <div type="apparatus" subtype="translation" corresp="#CSAI_415>
            <listApp>
                <app loc="3">
                    <note>hwṯb-hw: alternative translation "and set it".</note>
                </app>
                <app loc="5, 8">
                    <note>rkbn: "soldats montés" (Robin).</note>
                </app>
            </listApp>               
        </div>

2) notes that discuss the meaning of a lexical item or a sentence

    <div type="translation xml:id="CSAI_415">
                <p>
        ...
        <lb n="13"/>and when he traded and led a caravan to Dedan and Gaza 
                    <lb n="14"/>and the towns of Judah; and when he was safe 
                    <lb n="15"/>and sound, he who went from Gaza to Kition, during the war 
                    <lb n="16"/>between Chaldea and Ionia; and when Ydʿʾl Byn 
                    <lb n="17"/>son of Yṯʿʾmr king of Sabaʾ appointed him and sent 
                    <lb n="18"/>him as a messenger to the land of Ḏkrm and 
                    <lb n="19"/>Lḥyn and ʾbʾs¹ and Ḥnk in those fourteen 
                    <lb n="20"/>expeditions (?) and he accomplished all with which 
                    <lb n="21"/>Ydʿʾl had charged him as a messenger and for which he had appointed him.
                     ...
                </p>
      </div>

    <div type="apparatus" subtype="translation" corresp="#CSAI_415>
            <listApp>
                <app loc="19-20">
                    <note>ḥnk ʾlhn ʾrbʿ ʿs²r-hw ʾrglm: Bron translates "et il consacra au dieu quatorze fantassins", suggesting a parallel with the Heb. ḤNK "to consecrate". However, the verb in Heb. is used for the consecration of a temple to the god. Robin interprets the word a name of place and ʾlhn as a previously unattested form of the pronoun ʾln.</note>

3) notes that report partial translations provided by the editors [http://dasi.humnet.unipi.it/index.php?id=dasi_prj_epi&prjId=1&recId=4153]

    <div type="translation xml:id="CSAI_1268">

            </listApp>               
        </div>

When different complete translations are available, we insert distinct ones.
