Motivation[edit]
Diktyon is a project which aims at bringing together various databases for Greek manuscripts (more info on their website). The Dikyton numbers are widely used among the scientific community. They are non-significant numerical IDs for Greek manuscripts held in public and private collections around the world. The IDs are mainly used to link to the Pinakes database (link) hosted by the IRHT which also assigns and curates the IDs. Pinakes records shelfmarks, dating, textual content, scribes, possessors, scholarly literature and links to digital (and physical) reproductions. In short, it is the go-to resource for everything codicological.
I believe having the Diktyon IDs in our items about manuscripts would be an asset.

Discussion[edit]
Support Looks good to me. DerHexer (talk) 13:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)- Support - seems to be a good addition! --DerMaxdorfer (talk) 13:40, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Support most relevant database of Greek manuscripts, surely necessary. --Epìdosis 13:58, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Support - definetly- Marcus Cyron (talk) 13:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Support - makes sense to have it, especially since the other two Pinakes related properties already exist. In the description for sure add it's about the Pinakes database, since one who isn't aware may be confused when the URL directs to a different domain than diktyon.org --Jimkats (talk) 18:12, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
