how to improve?

I thinking we need a list (or maybe a table like in the List of Dacian plant names?) showing for each entry:

- the name (+ spelling variants)

- if masculine or feminine

- attestations: place, century, maybe source (epigraphic or literary), probably an extra mention for important people such as Decebalus Daizus (talk) 12:08, 24 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Examples:

1. Tsiru

Ref: Dana 2001-2003, p. 88

2. Tsinna (Zinnas, Sinna)

Zinnas in IOSPE I² 136, Olbia, late 1st-early 2nd century
Tsinna son of Bassus in ISM V 27, Capidava (Scythia Minor), 2nd century
Titus Aurelius Sinna from Ratiaria (Moesia Superior) in CIL III 14507, Viminacium (Moesia Superior), year 195
Sinna in a military diploma for year 246 (no other details provided, but it was published by Peter Weiss in "Ausgewahlte neue Militardiplome" in Chiron 32 (2002), p. 513-7)

Ref: Dana 2001-2003, p. 86-9; Kovács 2009, p. 219

Makes sense! It would be good if the table is sortable.--Codrin.B (talk) 02:28, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look now. I put some work into this. Let me know what you think. --Codrin.B (talk) 06:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
