Inconsistent use of XML for parallel items

[ArmorBearer]

I have found the following (probably there are others...?):

    <cit>
        <quote lang="greek">-ρῶς</quote>
        <i>without giving offence,</i>
        <bibl n="Perseus:abo:tlg,4013,006:p.85D" default="NO">
            <author>Simp.</author>
            <title>in Epict.</title>p.85D.
        </bibl>
    </cit>; 
    <i>without taking offence,</i> ib.
    <bibl n="Perseus:abo:tlg,4013,006:p.88D" default="NO">p.88D.</bibl>

I have formatted this in order to make it easier to see the imbalance.

The 2 <i> tags seem to be intended as parallel, yet one is wrapped in <cit> and the other is not. I would have expected each of these to be considered a <cit>. This appears OK in the online Perseus dictionary, but the formatting of the first (blue text) is different from the second in my Kindle version of the printed dictionary.

This is probably not a grievous problem, as it may simply make it difficult to apply formatting consistently.

cit keeps together the Greek quotation with the citation. Sometimes, because it is simply the original LSJ print text being marked up, this will include the English translation. But the English translation is not part of the cit idea. Italics, on the other hand, simply indicate italics in the original print version, UNLESS they have been identified as some other structural element. Of course this was wrongly encoded all the time. Titles get included in glosses, etcetera. I don't know who sold you the Kindle version, so I cannot pronounce on the blue print:-)

The Kindle version that I have appears to have been published by Clarendon Press, Oxford. I obtained it from Amazon.com.

This one: copyright 2019 patristic publishing? 😂 “this material is in the public domain”

I could not find confirmation of the publisher, other than what I see on the digital cover. I see no mention of 'patristic publishing'... but I do see customer comments that it is the "Middle Liddell".

Ah, I just checked Amazon and saw someone selling what is clearly a Perseus-derived version of the LSJ for 2.99. When people use Perseus derivatives they are asked to keep the Perseus credit in place..
