Citation Guidelines
When you quote or build on material from the Aramaic Archive, please cite it so readers can trace your sources. These guidelines cover the primary texts as well as the archive's editorial annotations and translations.
What to cite
The Aramaic source texts belong to the public-domain textual tradition and need no permission to quote. The archive's transliterations, IPA, translations, grammatical notes, and commentary are editorial work — cite the archive when you reuse them.
General format
Cite the specific page or passage, the archive as publisher, and the date you accessed it. A general pattern:
Aramaic Archive, “[Page or Passage Title],” Aramaic Archive, accessed [Date], [URL].
