damaged twenty-eighth lord of Tikal

Research area: Split source route: Damaged twenty-eighth lord of Tikal in Temple VI chronology

Use the Martin PARI Temple VI chronology article with supporting date studies and direct inscription context to test a narrow damaged-lord inferon.

Not evidence. The child remains a source-reading route until the inscriptional basis and counterevidence are attached.

Tall Siran bottle succession anchor

Research area: Split source route: Tall Siran bottle as an Ammonite succession anchor

Use the AUSS Tall Siran bottle article and any original inscription/corpus control to test a narrow succession-anchor inferon.

Not evidence. Requires source reading and counterevidence before promotion.

L1 Lead Noetic Noetic model prior 35 No external text Triaged

Tikal missing twentieth-ruler slot

Research area: Split source route: Tikal missing twentieth-ruler slot

Read the Tikal Temple VI/co-ruler material and ruler-list studies for the specific twentieth-ruler slot; treat Maya Decipherment as route context rather than article backbone.

Not evidence. Requires inscription-specific editions, date studies, and counterevidence before promotion.

L1 Lead Noetic Noetic model prior 35 No external text Triaged

Baasha of Ammon identification problem

Research area: Split source route: Baasha of Ammon and the Baalis-Baalyasha identification problem

Read Rendsburg and inscription controls for Baasha, Baalis/Baalyasha, and adjacent Ammonite royal-name evidence as a contested identity route.

Not evidence. Must preserve counterevidence and avoid asserting identity as fact.

L2 Candidates

L2 Candidate Other Published_Beta

Ammonite royal succession surface, ca. 9th-early 6th century BCE

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 mechanical-gap title-prior lane.

Several low-outlink Kings of Ammon pages sit in the same shard across adjacent centuries. The title-only pattern suggests a fragile succession surface where named rulers, inscriptions, and chronological slots may be unevenly represented. Source title-prior route: route:2bf1291c47cb3255228959398a41c077dc7e09da4287b5a8.

L2 Candidate Unnamed person Review_Needed

Epigraphically reconstructed lords of Tikal

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 mechanical-gap title-prior lane.

The list title is explicitly about Tikal rulers across the 3rd through 9th centuries and carries an unreferenced-section signal plus Classic Maya categories. That combination points to a seam of rulers whose existence, names, dates, or succession are reconstructed from inscriptions rather than ordinary narrative sources. Source title-prior route: route:78944b7ebd1efb8059e13284112b1bf8bf9ec12e61fc2a40.

L2 Candidate Missing office Researching

Tall Siran bottle as an Ammonite succession anchor

Research area: Split source route: Tall Siran bottle as an Ammonite succession anchor

A bounded source-reading candidate around the Tall Siran bottle inscription as an anchor for Ammonite royal succession reconstruction.

The Tall Siran evidence item is the clearest direct-attestation component in the broad Ammonite succession packet.

L2 Candidate Missing office Researching

Tikal missing twentieth-ruler slot

Research area: Split source route: Tikal missing twentieth-ruler slot

A bounded Classic Maya epigraphic source-reading candidate for a missing or damaged twentieth-ruler slot in Tikal ruler sequence work.

The broad Tikal evidence path names the missing twentieth-king/co-ruler problem but is too mixed for article drafting.

L2 Candidate Lost text Published

Lost opening section of the Qalaichi-Bukan stele

Source-backed inferon for the lost opening or main section implied by the surviving final curse section of the Qalaichi-Bukan Old Aramaic stele.

The title's categories place Qalaichi at the intersection of Mannaean history, Iranian archaeology, and the ancient Near East, while the page carries a more-citations marker; title-only metadata suggests a real site whose evidentiary story is under-controlled. Source title-prior route: route:90e8cd7ed4da502984f394c10ca770ac5df5c1246f99bc19.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Review_Needed

Trichambaram inscription source-route disambiguation

Source-backed inferon for multiple epigraphic routes around the Trichambaram inscription.

An 11th-century Vatteluttu/Malayalam inscription with more-citations-needed metadata is a compact high-value seam: inscription readings, dating, patronage, language transition, and local historical context may be under-described. Source title-prior route: route:bdb4894ff932d58e10db8f699d27fec8ca2178a6d81b10cb.

L2 Candidate Inferred event Published

Kedukan Bukit siddhayatra and wanua-making event

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 source-control title-prior lane.

The title names an inscription, a strong surface for reconstructing people, polities, dates, or acts only after source-led transcription and translation review. Source title-prior route: route:f104d85daa0ff93ccb5e4f7827f0698c55b2ed2092814325.

L2 Candidate Unnamed person Researching

Baasha of Ammon and the Baalis-Baalyasha identification problem

Research area: Split source route: Baasha of Ammon and the Baalis-Baalyasha identification problem

A contested lower-level source-route candidate for the Baasha of Ammon/Baalis or Baalyasha identification problem.

Rendsburg supplies both source warrant and caution; the identity route is not ready to become a ruler fact.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Verified

Tonyukuk inscriptions as an Old Turkic epigraphic witness set

Codex source-reading decision from the pre-1550 title-prior lane.

The title identifies a named inscription set; title-only appraisal flags possible under-described persons, offices, events, or formulae recoverable only through epigraphic witnesses. Source title-prior route: route:1210904ea30fe723672698685fbbd1606eca9bbd487c42c7.

L2 Candidate Other Review_Needed

Grahapati Kokkala inscription and Bijamandala identification route

Source-backed inferon for a pre-1550 inscriptional temple-foundation and later site-identification route.

A named inscription appears with low-outlink article metadata and two spelling variants. The source-object title plus Sanskrit/Gupta inscription categories make this a strong lead for a compact epigraphic artifact whose attestations may be scattered under variant transliterations. Source title-prior route: route:534be780c49fb68bf41aac4179b01c2bc6f0dabcc1043990.

L2 Candidate Inferred event Review_Needed

Kleines Schulerloch inscription-context inferon

Heavily discounted source-backed inferon that the Kleines Schulerloch inscription implies a disputed premodern personal inscription context.

A named inscription plus the runic-inscription title point to an epigraphic witness with likely missing maker, date, and communicative setting; no reading checked. Source title-prior route: route:318ff461d8bf6bcf2af01a41578479e3efa346c8cd7bed2a.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published_Beta

Epigraphic squeeze archive witness inferon

Source-backed inferon that archived squeezes can preserve inscription witnesses for originals now lost, damaged, or inaccessible.

The title is an epigraphy source surface rather than a single inscription. Squeeze-paper records often preserve readings of inscriptions that are now damaged, dispersed, or unpublished, so this title points to a likely seam of inferred inscription witnesses and archival holdings. Source title-prior route: route:10a1c0786112c6f57d3203f75964daeda04c804bd20ebf11.

L2 Candidate Unnamed person Published_Beta

Sinai Armenian inscription pilgrim and dedicator person-traces

Inferon for thinly recoverable Armenian pilgrim and dedicator person-traces preserved in Sinai inscription corpora.

The title names an inscription corpus, which is a strong title-only signal for fragmentary personal, devotional, and travel traces that may be present in epigraphic catalogues but absent as ordinary articles. Source title-prior route: route:f2b0e4f9f5353f593f6ab93eca4dbc8e91248dd23f4089c2.

L2 Candidate Unnamed person Researching

Named Armenian pilgrims in Sinai graffiti near Jebel Musa and St Catherine's

Research area: Split source route: Named Armenian pilgrims in Sinai graffiti near Jebel Musa and St Catherine's

A conservative source-route candidate for named pilgrim traces preserved in Sinai Armenian graffiti around Jebel Musa and St Catherine's.

The broad Sinai path supports pilgrim/person traces as a category, but not specific published entities.

L2 Candidate Missing office Researching

Possible rival or co-ruler positions in Early Classic Tikal inscriptions

Research area: Split source route: Possible rival or co-ruler positions in Early Classic Tikal inscriptions

A lower-level source-route candidate for possible rival, co-ruler, or parallel office positions implied by Early Classic Tikal inscription readings.

The broad evidence path gestures toward co-ruler positions, but current evidence is not yet narrow enough for L3 promotion.

L2 Candidate Unnamed person Published

Naziba EA 206 unnamed correspondent correction

Inferon that EA 206 attests Naziba as a toponym or polity while leaving the correspondent unnamed.

A single ancient title is simultaneously categorized as an Amarna letters location and writer, with coordinate-missing and regional ancient-history stub signals. That title pattern is a lead for a thin identification page where person, place, and textual attestation may need explicit separation. Source title-prior route: route:eab53aba20539ca68e0b1746c1ccdb9627092640fa7ed27f.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Review_Needed

Bengaluru pre-1550 inscription locality source routes

Source-backed inferon for Bengaluru-area inscription and hero-stone locality routes.

Two locality-specific inscription-and-hero-stone pages in the same shard share a specialized inscription-stones category, suggesting a broader Bengaluru locality list or comparison candidate. Source title-prior route: route:e7e99335a0dc1c9f3ded0f0d33f99d90f7296cb60f60c839.

L2 Candidate Unnamed person Researching

Armenian dedicator and donor traces in Sinai inscription catalogues

Research area: Split source route: Armenian dedicator and donor traces in Sinai inscription catalogues

A source-route candidate for Armenian dedicator or donor person-traces visible through Sinai inscription catalogues.

The broad packet identifies dedicator/donor traces but not bounded individuals or inscription groups.

L2 Candidate Other Published_Beta

Lost equestrian statue of Aemilius Paullus at Delphi

Draft review article for the lost crowning statue or upper sculptural program of the Aemilius Paullus Delphi victory monument.

Codex/subagent read ancient, epigraphic, museum, and scholarly sources for the Delphi victory-monument route. Source title-prior route: route:e4c352c164f52b094860a5a68baa440eeda2de6498f43e6f.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Verified

Chatalar inscription Ticha-aul evidence inferon

Inferon for the Chatalar inscription as the epigraphic anchor for Omurtag's Ticha aul, bridge, and 821/822 building horizon.

The title is an inscription page categorized under Bulgarian Greek inscriptions and marked only with sparse archaeology/Byzantine/Bulgaria stub scaffolding. It is a good title-only signal for a fragmentary epigraphic object whose dating, text, translation, and historical inference should be ledgered separately. Source title-prior route: route:8f7b0c1d1727f6805449af7a6681e7ba9d016b80ed3cea9b.

L2 Candidate Inferred event Published_Beta

Daiaeni-Diauehi Assyrian campaign inferon

Inferon for Assyrian campaigns against Daiaeni/Diauehi as an inscription-backed event cluster behind the synthetic Diaokhi-Assyrian War label.

Diaokhi-Assyrian War appears as a bare one-outlink historical-conflict title with no visible category or template support in the shard. Ancient Near Eastern conflict topics often depend on sparse inscriptions and reconstructed chronologies, making it a plausible thin evidence-led candidate. Source title-prior route: route:e4c30f2750ab3644317978efe1108494dc00fdc93bc0c35c.
