the upon-inscription
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,NFS — noun, nominative, feminine, singular. The form ἐπιγραφή is nominative feminine singular, indicating a single inscription functioning grammatically as the subject or predicate nominative in its clause. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term derives from ἐπί (upon) and γράφω (to write), literally meaning "a writing upon." Rendering it as "the upon-inscription" preserves the root sense of something written on or over an object, while reflecting its nominative feminine singular form as a definite singular noun functioning as subject or predicate. |
