persName @types, @keys, and @regs

@type

• attested
• stands for "Person attested locally"--this is most people, of course
• emperor
• stands for member of imperial family
• (in other projects involving the Greek world outside of the Roman empire we have used "ruler" instead of emperor, as a more catch-all term.)
• divine
• divinities, including both Olympian gods, angels/saints/etc., and abstract figures such as Agathe Tyche
• consular
• (not actually used, but suitable for tagging the names of eponymous consuls or archons *only* where they are used in dating formulae)
• other
• primarily historical figures such as Herodotos, Pindar, and the like, who fit into none of the above categories

@key

• in IRCyr @key is only used for pointing from divine and imperial names to the respective authority lists of these figures. In other projects (such as ALA 2004; IOSPE), a full prosopography of attested persons is also provided, and @key may also point to those lists.

@nymRef

• on <name> rather than <perName>
• This should contain a pointer to the table of regularized names, all in the nominative.

In practice, a full personal name tag might look something like this:

     <persName type="attested" key="person17"><name nymRef="#Διογένης">Δηογένου</name></persName>
