| Description | The paper focuses on collecting and coding data from the 2nd volume of the Inscriptions Latines de l'Algérie for the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of the Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age, which is running as a project of the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Latin Department of the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. The case study contains mainly the inscription (ILAlg 2, 7473), written on both sides of the lead tablet, during the 7th century AD. This inscription contains over 80 interesting Vulgar Latin phenomena, for example, several occurrences of v - B, missing -m, omitted or wrongly added H and several cases of monophthongization. Secondary inscription described in this paper (ILAlg 2, 7323) is the funerary inscription of Lucia Marcella, who died in 132 years according to this inscription. There are quite many other examples of inscriptions from Algeria, which contain information about people living well over a hundred years. |
