Samples are marked according to provenance and inferred quality. *Organic* samples were sourced primarily manually from a large number of established public Latin repositories. *Corrected* samples are derived from damaged examples available in LatinPD, refined with the aid of [Emendator](https://huggingface.co/aimgo/Emendator), an OCR correction model trained expressly for Latin. Samples obtained from CommonCrawl, CommonCorpus, LatinPD, FineWeb2, and FinePDF are similarly marked.
