Principles of transcription
- Maintain the original entry - carry out the transcription as faithfully as possible to the original, without correcting the writer's mistakes.
 - Lines of text - the transcription should be written in lines (fragments in grey should be omitted). If a word is divided between two lines, it should be written as in the original, that is, without connecting it.
 - Punctuation - all punctuation marks or others (e.g. commas, full stops, hyphens, etc.) appearing in the original should be ignored.
 - Writing capital letters - the mechanism recognises both small and capital letters as correct.
 - Shortening - the general rules accepted by us say that a contraction used by the scribe should be developed, giving the full word.

Helpful tips

 - The numbers used in the text should be written as numbers.
 - The brackets ( ) that appear in line 7 should be omitted, and only the word inside the brackets should be written.
 - The scribe began line 9 with a mistake. The letters ty (greyed) which he crossed out should be omitted.
